The author of a barrage of global hits (from “Nasty” to “Rhythm Nation” and “Got Til It’s Gone”), she is one of only four artists to have a #1 Billboard album for four successive decades. Blending soul, rock, rap, and electro in truly innovative production, this icon brought the genre into radical and sexy super-creative territories, releasing a series of albums of formidable artistic caliber: Janet (1993) and The Velvet Rope (1997), personal masterpiece and deeply rebellious. This year also marks the 30th Anniversary of her ground-breaking 'Rhythm Nation' album, making her still the only artist with seven top five hits from the same album. As she wraps her critically acclaimed State of the World tour, she arrives at the Festival to further solidify her legend, reminding us once again just how much pop music owes to her!
