Britney Spears has just started luring younger crowds to her
recently launched Las Vegas spectacle inside Planet Hollywood Resort &
Casino. But the pop star is about to gain some new neighbors at a smaller venue
nearby.
The Jacksons have inked a residency deal with Planet
Hollywood that will see them perform 40 concerts, promoters for the show
announced on Thursday.
Legendary Motown pop musicians The Jacksons are opening a
residency as part of the RockTellz & CockTails series at Planet Hollywood
Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
The Jacksons have been signed to perform 40 shows Feb. 20 to
April 27; the run coincides with rocker Meat Loaf‘s own RockTellz residency
that reopens Feb. 13 in the same showroom.
In the RockTellz series, the artists not only perform many
of their hit songs, but also share personal stories of their musical careers.
The Jacksons had nine No. 1 hits and 14 Top 10 hits,
including “ABC,” “I Want You Back” and “I’ll Be There.” The group are made up
of brothers Tito, Jackie, Jermaine and Marlon. The original lineup as The
Jackson 5 also included younger brother Michael, known around the world as the
King of Pop, who died in 2009.
RockTellz creator Adam Steck said he is honored to offer The
Jacksons as the second residency act for the series.
“Audiences are going to love hearing their unbelievable
stories and of course, the songs that have helped them become so treasured and
adored worldwide,” said Steck, who is also CEO of SPI Entertainment.
This extravagent Las Vegas Show The Jacksons is scheduled to
perform at 9:30 p.m. Thursdays – Sundays in the PH Showroom.
