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 concert will be headlined by rock 'n' roll royalty The Jacksons, who are set to make their first Aussie appearance in five years, with four of the original crew — Jermaine, Jackie, Tito and Marlon. They'll be dishing up hits like 'ABC', 'Blame It On The Boogie' and 'Can You Feel It'.

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.

They'll mostly be playing under the stars, embracing summer at some of the country's best al fresco venues.
