Janet Jackson has extended her Las Vegas residency at the Resorts World Theatre. The star will return to the stage this spring for shows on May 21, 24, 25, 28, 30 and 31, 2025. Tickets for the additional dates will go on sale on Jan. 17 at 10 a.m. PT.
Simply titled Janet Jackson: Las Vegas, the concert debuted on Dec. 30 to a sold-out crowd in the 5,000-seat theatre. She also performed on New Year’s Eve plus Jan. 4 and 5. According to a press release, the residency’s theater is an intimate, state-of-the-art, multi-level venue with unobstructed sight lines no more than 150 feet from the stage. When Jackson’s current slate of performances were announced last August, the run was set to end on Feb. 15 of this year.
Though she has been keeping busy as of late, before her tenure at Resorts World, Jackson’s last Las Vegas residency was in 2019. Called Metamorphosis, it ran for 18 shows at the Park Theater. It commemorated the 30th-anniversary her of her classic 1989 album, Rhythm Nation 1814. In 2023, she launched her Together Again Tour in North America, her first trek in four years. She added international dates and another North American leg last year.
Always known as a formidable dancer, Jackson’s Together Again tour routine to a mash-up of her own song “Nasty” from 1986 and the 2024 hit by Tinashe drew excitement, especially from Tinashe herself. “I always go back to Janet Jackson as being my ultimate reference, just because I feel like she embodies all of the things that I love,” the younger singer told Rolling Stone. “I feel like she was constantly genre-blending, and she was very ahead of her time in that sense. And she also is a great performer, entertainer, dancer. She’s still probably my top inspo, top mother.”
One of many talented siblings in one of music’s most famous families, Jackson mourned the lost of her brother Tito last October. Tito Jackson, a founding member of the Jackson 5, was the third born of the 10 brothers and sisters. Janet Jackson is the youngest. In a tribute via Instagram Story, she wrote “May you rest in eternal peace,” beneath a photo of both of them from a 1972 magazine shoot at their family home. “I will miss you so much.”
