The Jacksons announce concert tour

Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon and Tito Jackson announced plans Wednesday for their first U.S. concert tour since 1984. The singing siblings, who have performed together under numerous names including the Jackson 5, became pop icons in the 1970s alongside their younger brother, Michael, who died in 2009. The Jacksons\' Unity Tour 2012 is to kick off June 18 in Louisville, Ky. It will wrap up July 29 in Snoqualmie, Wash. \"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, MJ\'s spirit will be in the house with us.\" \"I am so happy and excited to perform again onstage with my brothers,\" Jermaine Jackson said. \"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.\"
