Janet Jackson to Receive ICON Award & Perform at 2025 American Music Awards

Janet Jackson will be honored with the ICON award at the 2025 American Music Awards.

Scheduled to air live from Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Memorial Day, Monday, May 26, the 11 time AMA winner will also be performing at the ceremony, marking her first television performance since 2018.

Rihanna and Lionel Richie are the two previous recipients of the ICON Award. They were honored with the award in 2013 and 2022 respectively. The honor is bestowed upon an artist whose music has had undeniable cultural and global influence over the music industry.

Jackson had earlier been honored with the Ultimate Icon Award at the 2015 BET Awards, the Icon Award at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards, and the Global Icon Award at the 2018 MTV EMAs.

Slated to kick off summer, this year’s American Music Awards will be hosted by Jennifer Lopez, who will also perform on the show. The 51st AMAs will air live coast-to-coast at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on the CBS, and stream on Paramount+ in the U.S. Tickets are available now on Ticketmaster.

Jackson, 58, has been a recording star since 1982, when her debut album was released on A&M. She has amassed 10 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and seven No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200.

She’s also set to kick off yet another leg of her popular Las Vegas residency, JANET JACKSON: LAS VEGAS, returning to the Resorts World Theatre stage on May 21 for a six-show run through May 31.

Jackson has won five Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award and an Oscar nomination for best original song, along with multiple MTV Video Music Awards and Billboard Music Awards.
