Big news for Janet Jackson fans. After promising new music, among other things, in May the 49-year-old has officially announced the name, dates and artwork for her first tour in four years.

Jackson took to Twitter to share the good news. The legendary pop star tweeted the official poster for her Unbreakable World Tour, along with more than 30 dates and locations in North America. As Entertainment Weekly reports, the North American leg of the tour kicks off with a late August concert in Vancouver and ends in early November 2016 with a final show in Hawaii. She also made merchandise from the highly anticipated tour available for purchase.

Rumors of an album have been swirling since August 2014. Jackson shut down speculation quickly, saying if there had been something in the works, she would announce it herself. Nearly a year later on May 16 she took to Twitter to tell fans that the time had come in a short video clip. She did not say what the project was being called, but used the hashtag "#ConversationsInACafe," leading followers to believe that will be the new album title.

That's not the only exciting thing going on in Jackson's life. The "All For You" singer recently launched her own record label, Rhythm Nation Records. In a statement released on her website, she promised fans she would be releasing her new album -- her first project since releasing "Discipline" in 2008 -- through the fledgling label.

Tickets for the Unbreakable World Tour go on sale June 22 on both JanetJackson.com and VividSeats.com. American Express carholders will have access to presale tickets June 15 at 10 a.m. EDT to June 19 at 10 p.m. EDT. Jackson's first concert of the tour will be August 31.
