Janet Jackson

Janet Jackson's largest ever world tour celebrating for the first time the Icon's 35 number ones hits in 35 global cities is going to Taipei. Fans submitted suggestions to www.janetjackson.com to have their city selected as a date on the JANET JACKSON Number Ones, Up Close and Personal tour. The Taipei performance will take place on Feb 18th at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center.

This tour will differ from her previous concert schedules in that she will perform music exclusively from her chart topping CD NUMBER ONES. There will also be a focus on venues that will allow Janet to be up close and personal in a much more intimate setting. This show is JANET more revealed, more intimate, and more personal than ever before. Don't look for special effects. Just look at Janet.

Tickets will go on sale January 8th on G-music tickets. For more ticketing information please reach Veryaspect and G-music tickets.

Janet has expressed her excitement for the upcoming performance in Taipei by stating,

"My fans have voted and I'm very excited to tell you that Taipei will be the next city of my Number Ones Up Close and Personal tour. This is my first concert ever in Taipei, and I can't wait to share the love and rock it out. There will be special changes in this show to honor the culture and beautiful people of Taiwan."

Janet has also selected the first fan winner of the contest in voting for the cities. The winner will be announced on www.janetjackson.com and they will receive an autographed copy of NUMBER ONES and an autographed copy of her upcoming book "True You" (on stands February 8th). In each of the 35 cities Janet will dedicate one of her number one songs to the city and she will also recognize 20 young people whose lives and work have enriched their communities in a major way.
