Janet Jackson's 'Rock With U' tour kicked off on Wednesday in Vancouver, BC.

Her first tour in seven years, the opening show earned stellar reviews from critics.

"She can move like she did back in her 'Rhythm Nation 1814' days – almost 20 years ago now – and she never seemed to wane, even as the clock ticked past 10:30 pm," said the 'Globe and Mail.'

"It is a reminder that she is a trend-setter in her own right, a true diva, and a marvelous performer," said the ' Vancouver Sun.'

Jackson exclusively revealed her tour rundown for the 'Rock With U' jaunt to 'BV Buzz' on Aug. 18.

Jackson's 'Rock With U' tour has announced stops in 17 cities including Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, DC and Dallas . More dates are expected to be added.
