The Nasty singer teased fans with plans for a trek last month (May15) and now the dates are official, beginning with a Vancouver show in British Columbia on 31 August (15).

The singer has posted the confirmed first dates for her Unbreakable World Tour on her website, along with pre-orders for her new album.

Weeks ago she told fans, "I promised you'd hear it from my lips. This year, new music, new world, a new movement. I've been listening. Let's keep the conversation going."

Her as-yet-untitled new album will be Jackson's first since 2008's Discipline. It will also be the first official album released on her new label, Rhythm Nation - a subsidiary of BMG.
