Janet Jackson fans may want to “scream” after the Atlanta Hawks‘ Game 5 win.
Hawks star Trae Young knocked down a 30-foot three pointer with 2.1 seconds left in regulation to defeat the Celtics, 119-117, in Boston. The first-round series now shifts back to Atlanta’s State Farm Arena for Game 6 on Thursday as the Celtics lead the series 3-2.
That presented a scheduling conflict. Jackson’s “Together Again” tour was originally scheduled to take place at State Farm Arena on Thursday, but attendees were informed by email that the show has been postponed one day to accommodate the Hawks.
“Due to the Atlanta Hawks playoff game, the Janet Jackson show originally scheduled for Thursday, April 27 at State Farm Arena has been moved to Friday, April 28,” Live Nation said in a statement. “All tickets for Thursday night’s show will be honored for Friday night. Refunds will be available at point of purchase for those who are unable to attend.”

The Hawks pulled off the comeback win without guard Dejounte Murray, who served a suspension on Tuesday following a confrontation with referee Gediminas Petraitis on Sunday.
“This is such an exciting time for the city with world-class events between Hawks Playoff basketball, Janet Jackson and Taylor Swift in downtown Atlanta,” Trey Feazell, the executive vice president of arena programming for State Farm Arena, said in a statement. “We are committed to ensuring all of our guests have a great night out at each of our events and are working with our partners to provide the most seamless experience possible.”
After the win, Murray said Young told him to “Be READY Game 6” because the team’s season wasn’t ending just yet. Young kept his promise following a 38 point, 13 assist performance.
“LETS HEAD BACK TO ATLANTA!” Murray tweeted after the Game 5 win. “I Love My Team. ALL FIGHT Against All Odds!!!! ATLANTA VS EVERYBODY!!!!!!!”
Jackson’s tour marks the first time the Grammy award winner is back on a stage since 2019, but her fans in Atlanta will have to wait one more day.
