Janet Jackson: Essence Music Festival Kick-Off!

Janet Jackson hits the stage with a 30-song set during the opening night of the 2010 Essence Music Festival held at the Louisiana Superdome on Friday (July 2) in New Orleans.

It’s been two years since Janet performed on a concert stage. It’s so good to have her back!

In addition to Janet, the lineup includes Gladys Knight, Mary J. Blige Monica, Keri Hilson, and Alicia Keys.
