The Jacksons have announced they will return to Australia and New Zealand in 2027.

The legendary Motown group will head our way next May, with shows confirmed in Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.

“We’re excited to announce that The Jacksons are coming to Australia and New Zealand in May 2027,” the Jacksons said in a statement.

“Join us for an unforgettable celebration of our music, our history and the songs that have brought generations together. We can’t wait to see you all and share these special nights with you!”

The run will be The Jacksons’ first trip to Australia and New Zealand since 2019.

The tour follows the success of the Michael Jackson film, Michael, earlier this year, which is now the highest grossing music biopic of all time.

The King of Pop was portrayed in the movie by his nephew, Jafaar Jackson, the son of Jermaine Jackson.

“When I was talking to people in Hollywood about it – how are you gonna find him? Oh, we’ll find him, but then I’d get in my car and go, ‘I don’t know how we’re gonna do this,'” Oscar-winning producer Graham King said earlier this year.

“It sounds crazy, but it kind of shook my whole being. This can’t be true. I’ve just met the perfect person to play Michael Jackson.”
