The two headliners will perform at JIExpo Kemayoran on Feb. 28 and 29 and March 1, 2020, alongside other stars, such as Bruno Major, Anomalie, Ari Lennox and Prep.

The Jacksons, whose members Jackie, Tito and Marlon Jackson are brothers of the late King of Pop Michael Jackson, started performing as The Jackson 5 in 1965 in Gary, Indiana, the United States. They are among the first African-American groups to attain a diverse following.

The brothers have sold 100 million records worldwide and were honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999. Two of their songs, “ABC” and “I Want You Back”, are included in 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
