Janet Jackson is taking over London’s O2 Arena this weekend: here’s everything you need to know

London-based Janet Jackson fans, it’s nearly time. The iconic popstar’s Together Again tour has seen her play huge venues all across North America, stopping in Paris before several dates in the UK.

Following a first UK tour show in Birmingham, Jackson will play London’s O2 Arena twice over the next few days. The tour was announced back in June and is celebrating Jackson’s 50-year-long career (she started young, at just seven years old) and 35 years of album Rhythm Nation.

Keen to see the singer of hits like ‘That’s the Way Love Goes’, ‘Together Again’ and ‘Got ’Til It’s Gone’ live and in the flesh? Here’s everything you need to know about Janet Jackson’s two O2 Arena shows in London.
