Jackson Brothers Announce Summer Tour

Jackson siblings - Jermaine, Jackie, Tito, and Marlon - have announced plans for a summer tour. It will be their first tour since 1984's Victory Tour with brother Michael.

Being dubbed The Unity Tour, the tour will kick off June 18 in Louisville, KY and will continue through July.

"This is a dream coming true," Jackie Jackson said in a statement about the tour. "I can't believe this is finally happening. There's nothing like having all the brothers on stage at the same time. This will be exciting for our fans around the world, and I know at each concert, [Michael's] spirit will be in the house with us."

Tickets will go on sale beginning Friday, April 6, with additional dates to be announced. The setlist is expected to include all the J5 and Jackson hits like "I Want You Back," "ABC" and "I’ll Be There," though it’s unclear who will take over Michael’s vocal duties.

"I am so happy and excited to perform again onstage with my brothers," Jermaine Jackson said in a statement. "I can’t wait to sing all the songs that were so much a part of all of our lives. We are ready and committed to keep the family’s legacy alive and perform once again with the highest level of excellence, creativity, and most of all, integrity."

Here are current dates, with more to come later:

Jacksons Cancel 2 Concerts Of Unity Tour

The Jackson brothers announced that they have to cancel the first two concerts of their upcoming Unity Tour in Louisville and Cincinnati. A representative for the band said that "scheduling conflicts" are the reason. However, according to TMZ the cancellations were made because Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon and Tito have been busy recording their new studio album. They want to finish the album before they hit the road so they can perform the new songs on tour. It's expected that the band wants to make up the missed dates, but no alternative dates have been announced yet.

The Unity tour is scheduled to kick off on June 20, 2012 in Rama (Ontario, Canada).
