The family group behind “I Want You Back” and “Can You Feel It”, now led by Jackie and Marlon Jackson, bring six decades of Motown and disco to Hammersmith.
Jackie and Marlon Jackson bring the songbook of the Jackson 5 and the Jacksons to the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith on Friday 13 November 2026. Mitchell Zhangazha and Haydon Eshun join them.
From Gary, Indiana, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael signed to Motown in 1968. They became the first group to open with four consecutive American number ones, from “I Want You Back” to “I’ll Be There”.
In 1976 they moved to Epic as the Jacksons, with Randy in place of Jermaine. Destiny and Triumph carried “Blame It on the Boogie” and “Can You Feel It” into the disco era.
The group has sold more than 150 million records and entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. Since the deaths of Michael in 2009 and Tito in 2024, Jackie and Marlon have carried the name on stage.
The Apollo opened in 1932 as the Gaumont Palace, an Art Deco cinema. As the Hammersmith Odeon it later hosted the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Bob Marley.
Zhangazha played Michael in MJ The Musical. Eshun led the Thriller show in the West End for more than ten years.
