Who is performing?

Jackie Jackson and Marlon Jackson, two of the original Jackson 5 members, tour together in 2026 as The Jacksons, the group's name since 1976. Mitchell Zhangazha, who played Michael Jackson in the West End's MJ The Musical, and Haydon Eshun, who led the West End's Thriller - Live for over a decade, join them as additional performers. Michael Jackson, who died in 2009, appears only through archive footage from the Jackson 5 era, never live.

The tour is billed as "Jackson 5 Live In Concert". For the fuller line-up story, including which family members are and are not part of the 2026 shows, see our tour dates and line-up guide and The Jacksons artist hub. What to expect from the performance itself, including the songs likely to feature, is covered in our expected setlist guide.

What hospitality suits your group?

The Jacksons' 2026 UK shows suit client entertainment, staff reward and personal celebrations alike, across four very different venues: an intimate Manchester theatre, Wales's largest indoor arena, a university-run civic hall, and a landmark Art Deco theatre in Hammersmith. Each venue publishes its own accessibility information, and provisions vary by building rather than following one tour-wide standard.

• Client entertainment - hosting guests or prospects at a heritage act's UK shows.
• Staff reward and recognition - a shared night out for a wider team.
• Personal celebrations - birthdays, anniversaries and group get-togethers built around a big show.

Premium seating enquiries and group booking enquiries are handled directly for each date. All four venues offer step-free routes to at least part of the auditorium, dedicated wheelchair viewing or platform positions, and a companion-ticket policy. The exact provision, from toilet locations to booking routes, differs from one venue to the next and is confirmed with each venue directly ahead of the show.

Which date should you choose?

Choosing a date depends on your group's location and travel priorities more than anything else, since the core line-up is the same on all four nights, and shows on this tour so far have followed a consistent setlist shape. Cardiff and London offer the most travel options, Manchester and Wolverhampton the shortest walks from the nearest station.
