Janet Jackson is quickly becoming 2018’s festival queen.
The Pop royal recently wrapped up her ‘State Of The World Tour,’ but is getting ready to heat up the live circuit this summer with a string of appearances at multi-act extravaganzas.
Today brought with it the announcement of the latest – the Outside Lands festival. And it may be Jackson’s most significant yet.
Full story below…
Taking place at San Fransisco’s Golden Gate Park the weekend of August 10th-12th, the spectacle will see Jackson serve as the festival’s first ever female headliner. She shares the feat with fellow headliner Florence + The Machine.
The likes of Lana Del Rey have performed there in recent years, but never in a top-billed capacity.
Other acts on this year’s line-up include The Weeknd, Future, and N.E.R.D. Check out the full stack:
The slot extends the 51-year-old’s stacked summer itinerary which currently includes the Essence Music Festival, Panorama NYC, and FYF Fest.
Busy times for Momma Eissa!

But the hair has to go look at Keyshia Ka’Oir how she dresses up for Gucci Mane or how Kim dresses for Kanye either Jj
depressed or she’s really trying to downplay her beauty
GO JANET!! I love her and can’t wait to see her in LA July 21
She’s going to slay
B|tch I am the only Jasmine on this site that was born a woman. You trannies need to quit trying be me. There are like Jasmines on this site now and I suspect they ate all gsy men. Imitation is the best form of flattery but this is not Rupaul Drags Race. This is just a music blog pick another user name dear.
You were born a woman or you were born a TROLL? They don’t call you TROLLmine for nothing, SHANIQUA!
LIES Trashmine is a LADYBOY!
Queen Janet about to Burn it up! I’ll see her in NYC in July can’t waiy
Janet is making the girls mad.. lol Booked down!
But beyonce only has to do one festival that only matters
Jacob Beyoncé’s idol is Janet so ….. ??♀️??♀️??♀️
Shes only allowed one then on the road for her pimp she goes anna mae
Janet Jackson has been booked for multiple. She just wrapped a high grossing world tour. And she’s been certified a billionaire 2x!
Again the hair she needs to do her hair it looks horrible she’s supposed to have a skin scalp weave to her ass
Her husband divorced her for that reason… the Buns ponytails dookie braids. .. Tangled weaves need to go …. her makeup is to plain that’s Janet f****** Jackson…
She divorced her husband and he begged for her back…. publicaly. You’re off again , girl.
I know that her husband was Muslim bytch
I’m talking about .. even a Muslim woman can dress them beautiful attire and beautiful eye makeup bytch
when they were together she was running around with dookie braids looking miserable b**** …. therefore he was miserable
She had those same braids during her Janet era, at the height of her popularity and at various other times in her career. Again girl, you’re off. Off off off
You are a hater that hair is nothing wrong with it otherwise you go JJ can’t wait to see you in LA July 21cause know you are going to turn it out!!!!
Cant wait!!!
Love Janet!!!
Nothing wrong with her hair! Janet has the best weave in the business! Besides this pic is old nor she wears her hair like this anymore
Happy to see the Janet is getting back to the grind. I will see her at the Panorama Festival. Hope we get one new song or a revised tour setlist…
I live in SF – My dumb-ass 25 yr old coworkers today:
“Why is Janet Jackson headlining? That’s lame. Does she even sing?”
“Maybe Justin will pull one of her bombs out again”
“Future is dope he should be headlining”
F*$%ng idiots.
Janet is a living legend!
I love my Janet!!!!! Nothing wrong with her. She was unhappy with her muslim husband. Shes a christian. Nobody should be expected to comply with a certain demonation. Her muslim hubby was n is an asshole. I could never be with a muslim husband. However their are good muslims who are better than most christians. So judgeing Janet for anything at all is so dumb. People are people and that is it. Jesus wanted us united and thats what Janet stands for unity not division in every aspect of life. Man devided everyone. Thats the problem with this world its the people. But Janet what she stands for is absolutly beautiful shes a good soul. She should headline everytthing. Shes more of an inspiration than anyone in the business. Thats why shes the only artist ive stuck by since I was 15. Im now 39. So why do so many Godless people bash her??? Dang Janet is Janet she dont fake s***. But look at the people around us they all be fake. I believe in Janet and everything she stands for. That woman been through enough s*** she can sing about it. God Bless Janet!!!❤️
You’re insane!
That’s a shame. I don’t get all the hate for Janet among some people. She puts out her albums and minds her business. It’s not like she’s messing with anybody. Janet was the inspiration for most of these dancing pop & rnb chicks, including Beyonce. And no shade, but if they’re fine with Rihanna’s singing voice then they shouldn’t mind a little playback since she’s dancing all over the stage.
I’ll continue to pass on her whispers!
Stfu
I’m loving all these festival dates this summer, but can we get an album though? I’m up here dying to bump to J12!!!!!
Yes! Ms. Jackson heatin’ up this summer headlining a number of big festivals! It’s gonna be a HOT summer!
