Janet Jackson extends Las Vegas residency with fall dates: How to get tickets
Janet Jackson will stay in "Control" of her Las Vegas residency a little longer.
The pop superstar, who received the Icon Award at the 2025 American Music Awards, is extending her run at Resorts World Theatre with a new round of dates.
Jackson already has May 30-31 on the books and will return Sept. 10, 13-14, 17 and 19-20. Tickets for her fall shows go on sale at 1 p.m. ET on May 30 via axs.com.
The Janet Jackson: Las Vegas production finds the petite singer, 59, slow-burning her way through a two-hour set that includes several R&B cuts from her 2000's output ("Feedback," "Slolove," "No Sleeep") but plenty of throwbacks to her massive '80s and '90s eras ("That's the Way Love Goes," "Nasty," "Miss You Much," "Black Cat").

With her setlist spanning 43 songs (sometimes abbreviated versions), Jackson has crafted a definitive career overview.
It's a glossy spectacle that showcases Jackson's stylish aptitude through her Thom Browne wardrobe as well as her still-nimble dance moves. She launched her residency on New Year's Eve and played eight shows in January and February before tacking on six May dates.
During the May 26 AMAs, Jackson performed a medley of 'Someone to Call My Lover' and 'All for You' - also included in her Vegas production – before accepting her award.
"My family, myself, our dream wasn't ever to be famous," Jackson said. "We always had a special love for music, dancing and singing and fame came with the result of hard work and dedication."

Yes, when Purdue's Michael Jackson reached the end zone, you'll see some dance moves
WEST LAFAYETTE — It could be a thriller of a season for Purdue football. That is, if Michael Jackson III is a constant in the end zone. Among the Boilermakers' offseason roster overhaul was Jackson, a fifth-year senior receiver who spent three seasons at USC before playing at Georgia a year ago. Re-live Purdue's run to the Final Four Long ago, he came to terms with his name being the same as the legendary pop icon. "It's just something that doesn't go away," Jackson said after Purdue's football practice on Tuesday. "I embrace it now. It's cool for me to share a name with a legend." Two seasons ago with USC, after catching a touchdown from quarterback Caleb Williams in a win over Nevada, he paid homage to his namesake with a Michael Jackson-esque dance move. He promises more of the same if he finds the end zone with the Boilermakers. "I am trying to practice a few dances," Jackson said. Asked if he'll perform the moonwalk, Jackson said, "of course." Jackson has five career touchdown receptions, with four of those coming during USC's 2022 season.

Jayden Daniels' mom criticized by ex-ESPNer after Commanders training camp interview
One ex-ESPN sportscaster thinks Jayden Daniels' mom needs to take a step back. 'She needs a hobby,' former 'SportsCenter' and 'Golic and Wingo' co-host host Trey Wingo posted on X Monday after the Commanders quarterback's mother, Regina Jackson, made a cameo in her son's NFL Network interview at training camp Saturday. Jackson is Daniels' money manager, although not his agent, and the two have an extremely close relationship. 'She's a mom first, and she's always going to be there to uplift me but if I'm doing wrong, she's gonna let me know,' Daniels said in the NFL Network interview with Jackson standing behind him. 'Even though I'm 24 years old, I'm still a grown man but I still gotta listen to my mom at some point.' Jackson went on to say: 'I'm very proud of him. The athlete, the man you guys see and you always need your mommas around, so.' When asked if she's at Commanders training camp each day, Jackson said she wasn't, quipping: 'Trust me, they'll tell you when I'm here.' 3 Jayden Daniels' mother, Regina Jackson, with her son in an interview on NFL Network. @nflnetwork/X That exchange was enough to elicit the post from Wingo, which received 29,000 likes but plenty of pushback. 'I promise this is not what you want, Trey,' said one user on X in a response that received 953 likes. 3 Former ESPN co-host Trey Wingo on April 24, 2019. AP 'The sports world heavily documents when young Black athletes become successful and get in trouble & criticize them for extended spans of time,' wrote another. 'But when one has a clear image, great reputation and has a close relationship with a parent, suddenly we don't want that. Odd isn't it?' 'Seems like a mother and her son get along,' posted a third. 'What's wrong with that?' 3 Jayden Daniels at Commanders training camp on July 23. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Daniels is coming off a tremendous rookie season, in which he earned a Pro Bowl nod and won AP Offensive Rookie of the Year. The LSU product led the Commanders to a 12-5 record and NFC Championship game appearance, passing for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns.
