DENTRO DE LOS CONCIERTOS SEMANA GRANDE DE SANTANDER 2018 – CONCIERTOS DE LA CAMPA

Gira 50º aniversario de The Jackson Five, también llamados al principio The Jackson Brothers, y posteriormente The Jacksons, es un grupo musical estadounidense formado por cinco hermanos varones afroamericanos, en Gary, Indiana, fundado y bautizado por la casa discográfica Motown. El grupo, en actividad desde 1968 hasta mediados del 1975, desarrolló un repertorio basado en los estilos R&B, pop, soul, funk, pop rock y posteriormente disco. Considerados «uno de los más grandes fenómenos de la música popular» a principios de la década de 1970, Jackson 5 destacaron por la notable voz de sus principales vocalistas, Michael Jackson y Jermaine Jackson.

Y llegan a Santander con la gira 50 Aniversario de Jacksons 5, la banda que constituye las raíces de The Jacksons y de la que formó parte, junto a sus hermanos, Michael Jackson. Antes que este grupo, abrirán la jornada el grupo de soul barcelonés The Excitements. Hay entradas desde 29 euros.
