The Jackson's Unity Tour!

After nearly three decades of wanting them back, the Jackson's are returning. The remaining members of the Jackson 5 have announced the dates of a U.S. summer trek called the Unity Tour 2012.

Beginning June 18 in Louisville, Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon and Tito Jackson will tour together for the first time since 1984, when the Jackson's were supporting their "Victory" album. According to a press release, the Unity Tour will showcase the Jackson's classic hits like "I Want You Back," "ABC" and "I'll Be There," as well as honor the legacy of Michael Jackson, who died in 2009.

"I am so happy and excited to perform again onstage with my brothers," says Jermaine Jackson in a statement. "I can't wait to sing all the songs that were so much a part of all of our lives. We are ready and committed to keep the family's legacy alive and perform once again with the highest level of excellence, creativity, and most of all, integrity."

The Jackson's were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, and in January, Michael Jackson's handprints and footprints were immortalized during a ceremony at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Cirque du Soleil's "Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour" tribute show is currently housed at Madison Square Garden in New York, and continues across North America through August.
