Buzz around Jackson's return to LA
Bobby Reynolds, senior vice president of AEG Presents Las Vegas, shared his enthusiasm for Jackson’s return to the Las Vegas Strip. He said in a press statement:
“Janet Jackson is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in pop music. We could not be more thrilled to close out 2024 with her return to the Las Vegas Strip and her venue debut at our award-winning Resorts World Theatre and to kick off 2025 with a run of sure-to-be-unforgettable shows. This is a residency fans won’t want to miss.”
Venue, Setlist, and Special Guests
Jackson’s residency will be held at the 5,000-capacity Resorts World Theatre at Resorts World Las Vegas. The setlist for the shows is yet to be released. However, fans can likely expect a blend of her greatest hits, ranging from early classics like Control and Nasty to more recent tracks from her eleventh studio album Unbreakable.
During the Together Again tour, the multiple Grammy-winning star delivered a setlist that covered 39 songs. It featured classics like What Have You Done For Me Lately, All for You, Nasty, Control, and That’s the Way Love Goes. She concluded the concerts with a performance of Together Again, the track that set the name for the tour.
The 58-year-old artist is known to frequently perform special songs at her shows, such as her 1987 hit with Herb Alpert, Diamonds, and 1995 duet with her late brother Michael, Scream. The LA residency audience may see some unexpected tracks out of the setlist.
