originally published: 02/09/2026

(ENGLEWOOD, NJ) -- Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC) presents The Jacksons on Saturday, February 21, 2026 at 7:00pm. Note: This concert was originally scheduled for August 10. 2025. Tickets for that date are still valid.

Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael, five brothers from Gary, Indiana, known originally as The Jackson 5 and later The Jacksons, rose to fame for their combination of extraordinary musical talent and spectacular choreography. They earned the status of pop royalty in the music world, providing the launching pad for what would become Michael Jackson’s legendary solo career.

The group found international success at Motown in 1969, their first single "I Want You Back" reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Their next 3 singles "ABC", "The Love You Save" and "I'll Be There" followed suit, The Jackson 5 literally making music history with 4 debut singles all reaching No. 1. They ultimately scored 17 Top Forty singles on the Hot 100, following with hits such as "Never Can Say Goodbye" and "Dancing Machine". To date, their Motown recordings alone have sold in excess of 200 million.

Tickets range from $79-$179 and are available for purchase online. Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC) is located at 30 North Van Brunt Street in Englewood, New Jersey.

The Jacksons have become the inspiration for several generations of boy bands, including Backstreet Boys, New Edition, N*SYNC, New Kids on the Block, and more recently, the Jonas Brothers, One Direction, and many more.

In 1980, The Jacksons were honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They were inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999. At the BMI Urban Awards in 2008, The Jacksons were honored as BMI Icons. In 2016, “ABC” joined “I Want You Back” to be inducted into the Recording Academy’s Grammy Hall of Fame. The upcoming "Michael" movie will heavily feature members of The Jacksons/Jackson 5.

With the tragic passing of Tito Jackson, Tito's son Tarryl Jackson and additional first-class singers including Haydon Eshun who performed lead in the Michael Jackson ‘Thriller’ Musical in London’s West End for over 10 years will perform alongside Marlon and Jackie Jackson. The show includes plenty of additional video footage to accompany the strong performances from the classic days of The Jackson 5 performing with Michael. This is an evening you'll never forget featuring hit after hit!
