Fresh off a headlining set at Essence Fest where she was joined by Usher and Birdman, pop icon Janet Jackson brings a 50th anniversary tour to town (she’s just 58 years old, but has been in the biz for a long time).

At Essence, Jackson played pretty much nothing but the hits (“Love Will Never Do (Without You),” “Nasty,” “Rhythm Nation”), and fans can expect the same for this more-than-two-hour “Together Again” show spread across four acts and and an encore.

Nelly—who recently played the rooftop at Tampa Edition—opens the show.

Tickets to see Janet Jackson play MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa on Tuesday, July 16 are still available and start at $39.95.
