About the tour

In early 2008, Jackson announced that she would go on tour on the The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The audience was given free tickets to her show at the Staples Center. While planning the tour, Jackson started a phone line where fans could call in and request songs to be performed. Jackson will be performing all of her memorable hits, including those from her pre-Control days.cite web|url=http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2008/09/11/janet-jackson-opens-rock-witchu-tour-with-three-decades-of-hits-video-duets-and-pyro/|title=Janet Jackson Opens Rock Witchu Tour With Three Decades of Hits, Video Duets and Pyro|date=2008-09-11|accessdate=2008-09-15|last=Sheppard|first=Denise|work=Rolling Stones Magazine] The two and a half hour show kicked off in Vancouver on September 10, 2008 to rave reviews.
