Idrag4mj Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Jacksons reunite for the Unity Tour 2012 in DC July 3 at Constitution Hall Adored by millions of fans the world over, the Jacksons forever changed the landscape of popular music. When siblings Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon, and Tito Jackson rose to fame with their late brother Michael in the 1970s, they instantly became an unstoppable global sensation. The Jacksons' unique brand of soulful pop-funk, their lengthy catalogue of hits, and their impeccable live performances have made them one of the most beloved musical acts of all time. They return to D.C. July 3 at DAR Constitution Hall with tickets going on sale April 6 at LiveNation.com and The Jacksons Reunion Tour Set To Hit Houston July 14 Since their brother Michael passed away in June 2009, there has been persistent talk of a full-scale Jacksons tour, with the surviving Jackson brothers on board performing their collective hits and the hits of brother Jermaine. Today the iconic sibling group -- Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon and Tito Jackson -- announced a full-scale national tour, with a Houston date July 14 at Bayou Music Center, formerly Verizon Wireless Theater. Armed with their bedrock Jackson 5 hits, Jacksons work, and Jermaine Jackson's hit solo cuts, the group's "Unity Tour" marks their first tour in nearly three decades. That last tour in support of 1984's Victory album was a highly successful outing, with the group playing in front of more than 2.5 million screaming fans. The Victory tour and the Jacksons stopped at the Astrodome for two days on November 9 and 10, 1984. The group's entire Dallas set from that tour is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhtlsg5YGis&feature=player_embedded . Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, April 6, at the usual outlets: livenation.com, "most" Houston-area Randall's stores, 1-866-4HOUTIX (446-8849) and the Bayou Music Center Box Office http://blogs.houstonpress.com/rocks/2012/04/the_jacksons_july_14.php .............. well i guess they have realized that they need to work if they want to make a living ..

Idrag4mj Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Janet is rumoured to be opening?! Lol. Even when MJ was alive she would have never opened for them. She did say she would have opened for them though ...when she was trying to get them to tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 She did say she would have opened for them though ...when she was trying to get them to tour She was just saying it to be cute and to show solidarity. She'd said hundreds of times before that that she had nothing to do with the Jackson 5 and that it was their thing. What Janet really means is that she is a superstar so why would she open for a group that is now a nostalgic act. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil. Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 No Chicago date? Really. And Jermaine needs a makeover....that Nefertiti hair hat with the finger waves on the side is in need of retirement. He needs some Proactive and a Chemical peel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
