They'll bring big doses of nostalgia and plenty of soul to Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
It's time to start practising your alphabets, folks, because The Jacksons and Village People are heading Down Under for a huge classic R&B-filled concert touring the country.
It was announced earlier this year that the start-studded lineup would be kicking of Sydney's new Summer series, and now it's been revealed that it'll also be heading to Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Perth.

The four will be joined on stage by acclaimed artists Kool & The Gang, tapping into a back catalogue of tunes like 'Cherish', 'Celebration' and 'Jungle Boogie', as well as disco kings Village People, unleashing iconic songs like 'YMCA', 'Macho Man' and 'Go West'.
California R&B trio The Pointer Sisters are also coming along for the ride, with Sister Sledge and Sounds of The Supremes rounding out that huge serve of old-school disco magic.
