Janet Jackson concert chronology |
Rock Witchu Tour was the fifth concert tour by American singer Janet Jackson, in support of her tenth studio album Discipline (2008), and her first in nearly seven years, following a total blacklist of the singer's music, due to the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy. The tour began on September 10, 2008, in Vancouver, Canada, and was scheduled to conclude in Fukuoka, Japan, on February 22, 2009. However, several North American dates were cancelled due to Jackson's vertigo, and the upcoming Japanese leg was scrapped, following the 2009 economic crisis and another bout of illness for the singer.[2][3] The tour officially ended on November 1, 2008, in New York City, resulting in only sixteen shows. Still, the tour received rave reviews, and at the end of 2008, was placed 78th on Pollstar's "Top 100 North American Tours", grossing $11.7 million.[4]
