List of concert tours by the Jackson 5
are an American music group, formed in 1964 by the Jackson family brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael. The brothers' first invitation to perform was in Glen Park in 1965, with other early concerts at Theodore Roosevelt College and Career Academy, Gilroy Stadium, Gary's Memorial Auditorium, Regal Theater, Chicago and Apollo Theater, Harlem in 1967.
The quintet's first concert tour was in the United States, where they performed in cities such as Boston, Cincinnati and New York City throughout the final quarter of 1970. The brothers remained in their homeland for two more US tours, before successfully expanding to Europe in 1971 and the rest of world the following year.
With Motown owning the name 'Jackson 5' the move to Epic Records renames group to The Jacksons, while Jermaine who had married Hazel Gordy remains and the Jacksons embarked on another tour of Europe, where they performed in front of Queen Elizabeth II. After their interim concert series in 1978, the siblings proceeded with the Destiny Tour, a promotional platform for Jacksons album)|their similarly named album]. Their 1981 36-city circulation of the United States—the Triumph Tour—came next. The Jacksons' final tour together was in 1984, following the release of two albums: the band's Victory and Michael Jackson's Thriller. The Victory Tour spanned 55 performances in the United States and Canada and grossed over $75 million.
The Jacksons tours that include songs from Michael Jackson's solo career
undertook three solo tours, but he also toured three times with his brothers, The Jacksons. In these tours, in addition to performing the group's songs as a vocalist, he also performed songs from his solo career. Thus, The Jacksons' tours were also Michael Jackson tours, especially the Victory Tour in 1984, where more than half the songs were Michael Jackson's own compositions—specifically, 8 out of 14 tracks from the albums Thriller and Off the Wall. On the previous tour in 1981, The Triumph Tour, half the songs were from Michael Jackson's solo career, primarily from the album Off the Wall. On the Destiny Tour in 1979, following a four-month hiatus after Michael Jackson finished his album Off the Wall, songs from that album were added to the setlist, bringing the total to five songs from Michael Jackson's 16 solo albums performed in the final 28 concerts.| Title | Date | The Jacksons' songs/ MJ's songs | Continent | Shows | Attendance | Average attendance per concert | Gross | Gross in | |
