MICHAEL JACKSON THE IMMORTAL WORLD TOUR, THE NINTH TOP GROSSING MUSIC TOUR OF ALL TIME, RETURNS TO NORTH AMERICA IN 2014
December 05, 2013
The Estate of Michael Jackson and Cirque du Soleil announced today that Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour, which currently ranks as the 9th top grossing tour of all time according to Billboard, will return to North America in 2014.
The 2014 North American tour will kick off in February. Starting December 9, subscribers to the MichaelJackson.com newsletter will have exclusive access to purchase presale tickets through MichaelJackson.com. Starting December 13 at 10am, tickets will go on sale to the public for the cities and dates listed below. Additional cities and dates will be announced in the coming weeks so check back for cities and dates in your neighborhood.
Since its world premiere in Montreal in October 2011, this electrifying production has thrilled audiences across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, performing over 400 shows in 26 countries. Over 3 million people have experienced the show, setting records at a number of venues where it has played. THE IMMORTAL World Tour was awarded Billboard’s prestigious Creative Content Award in 2012 and was named a finalist for Billboard’s Top Tour Award in 2013.
Created by Cirque du Soleil and directed by Jamie King, THE IMMORTAL World Tour features 49 international dancers, musicians, and acrobats, presented in a rock concert format that combines the excitement and innovation of Michael Jackson’s music and choreography with Cirque du Soleil’s unparalleled creativity.
The underpinnings of THE IMMORTAL World Tour are Michael Jackson’s powerful, inspirational music and lyrics—the driving force behind the show—brought to life with extraordinary power and breathless intensity. Through unforgettable performances, the show underscores Michael’s global messages of love, peace and unity, and the band includes some of the same artists who previously worked side by side with Michael. Aimed at lifelong fans as well as those experiencing Michael’s creative genius for the first time, the show captures the essence, soul and inspiration of the King of Pop, celebrating a legacy that continues to transcend generations.
On the Boxscore chart, "Immortal" edges out the Rolling Stones' 1994-95 Voodoo Lounge tour (ranked No. 10, with $320 million in grosses) and trails Bruce Springsteen's 2012-13 Wrecking Ball tour (No. 8, $347 million). U2, the Stones and Roger Waters are the top three highest-grossing touring acts, respectively. Jackson is the only deceased artist among the top 10.
The Jackson estate's deal with Cirque also includes a permanent Las Vegas theater production, "Michael Jackson One," that debuted in May at a refurbished, 1,800-seat theater at Mandalay Bay, the former home of "The Lion King" and "Mamma Mia!" Since opening, "One" has been selling at about 93% occupancy from an average of 10 shows per week, according to Cirque.
Immortal has so far generated over $335-$340 and has been performed to over 3 million audience worldwide.
