Janet Damito Jo Jackson may be the baby of the world-famous Jackson family, but she proved very early on that she had what it took to be a star. Following in the footsteps of her extremely talented siblings, Janet made a name for herself as an actress, but deep down wanted to sing and dance.

She released her self-titled album in 1982, but four years later, the album “Control” changed her life forever. Janet is celebrating the album’s 40th anniversary in a very big way.

Janet Jackson will film Janet Jackson: Control 40 – The Airtab Music Movie live in concert on December 12, 2026, at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida. The special event will capture the iconic performer celebrating four decades of groundbreaking artistry and cultural impact.

“Janet Jackson: Control 40” Will Highlight Janet’s Incredible Career

When Janet Jackson released “Control,” she let the world know that she was taking charge of her career with her own sound and making her own decisions. Fans loved it, and it became a multi-platinum-selling album that helped catapult Janet Jackson to superstardom.

“Few artists have changed the course of popular music the way Janet Jackson has. ‘Control’ wasn’t simply a hit album—it was a cultural turning point that empowered an entire generation and redefined what a global superstar could be. We are incredibly proud that Airtab Music is producing this landmark film in partnership with Janet, Randy Jackson, and their team. Janet Jackson: Control 40 — The Airtab Music Movie represents exactly the kind of ambitious global music entertainment we want Airtab Music to be known for: iconic artists, extraordinary live moments and premium filmed experiences built to reach audiences around the world.”

Dennis Cunningham, Founder and CEO of Airtab Music, shared those heartfelt words about the project.

Tickets for Janet Jackson: Control 40 – Four Decades of Hits Live at Amerant Bank Arena go on sale August 20, 2026. Fans will have the opportunity to be part of a once-in-a-lifetime celebration honoring one of music’s most influential artists and the album that transformed popular culture.
