Janet Jackson just announced a Las Vegas residency that kicks off on May 17. The “Metamorphosis” residency runs from May through August with 15 dates total at the Park Theater at Park MGM resort.

Along with celebrating the 30th anniversary of her iconic Rhythm Nation album, the residency will also prep for an expected new album coming this year.

“’Metamorphosis’ peels back the layers of the immensely private life of Janet Jackson, sharing her transformation from a young girl with issues of self-esteem to global Icon,” a statement describes of her simultaneously intimate and larger-than-life shows.

Tickets start at $79 and will be available for purchase here, starting March 2.
