Metamorphosis[1] was a concert residency by American singer Janet Jackson at Park Theater located in the Park MGM hotel and casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. It began on May 17, 2019, and concluded on August 17, 2019.

The concert was produced by Live Nation Entertainment.[2][3][4]

Jackson earned $12.9 million within 18 dates, making the residency one of the most lucrative to emerge from Vegas' live music performances to date. "Metamorphosis" positions Janet in the middle of a career upswing, averaging and outpacing other Vegas acts in sales, grossing an average of $722,000 with 4,000 tickets per night.
