Well, we heard great news, last night, from Reggae Sumfest (Sumfest) Promoters, Summerfest Productions:
The Jacksons - brothers of the late king of pop, Michael Jackson, will be peforming at Reggae Sumfest, next Friday, July 24.
(Sumfest is one of the two largest reggae festivals, held annually in Jamaica).
This year's Sumfest is entitled, "Salute to Michael Jackson".
And I can tell you, from word on the street, Jamaicans are excited about this!
From what I understand, hotels in Mobay will be packed for Reggae Sumfest:
With the international line up including the Jacksons, Ne-Yo and Toni Braxton and the plethora of Jamaican Reggae Stars, Jamaicans and visitors, alike, are in for a treat!
Reggae Sumfest will be held from July 19-25 in Montego Bay. For more information about the event, please click here.

The last time the Jacksons peformed in Jamaica, was way back in 1975, when they were the Jackson 5.
Jackson brothers, Jamaicans welcome you to our shores, once again!
We're sorry that you're coming under bitter-sweet circumstances, but we trust that you'll not only enjoy your stay in Jamaica, but that you'll experience Jamaica in a brand new way and keep coming back!
Welcome!!!
(I would like to thank KXAN for the use of the inset photo of the Jackson 5.)
