When Janet Jackson makes a comeback, she really makes a comeback. Less than a month after announcing a Sept. 26 tour stop at Chastain Park Amphitheatre in Atlanta -- the first time she'll play the city in four years -- Jackson announced the second leg of her tour, which includes a March 3, 2016 performance at Philips Arena.

The pop star is touring in support of her forthcoming album -- her first new material in seven years -- which is set to be released this fall. The first single, "No Sleeep," was released two weeks ago and is in the Top 10 on Billboard's Hot R&B Songs chart.

Tickets for the March 3 Atlanta date will go on sale to the general public  on Monday, July 20 at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster.com, Philips Arena Box Office, by phone at 800-745-3000 and at all Ticketmaster Outlets. An American Express pre-sale runs from Tuesday, July 14 at 10 a.m. through Sunday, July 19 at 10 p.m.
