Just in time for back to school, The Jacksons will appear live in concert Sept. 10 at the Parx Casino’s XCite Center.

For one night only, brothers Jackie, Tito and Marlon ― once members of the illustrious Jackson Five ― will harmonize their crowd-pleasing favorites at the casino in Bensalem.

“This special engagement is the only chance to see The Jacksons perform live this fall in the Northeastern United States,” said Parx spokesman Kory Aversa. Tickets range from $55 to $95 for the 8 p.m. show which will benefit the Universal Family of Schools in Philadelphia.

“Parx Casino is honored to welcome legends and hit-makers The Jacksons to the Xcite Center,” said Carrie Nork Minelli, the casino’s director of advertising and marketing. “We are proud to welcome the county’s biggest names in music, comedy and TV to our state-of-the-art music venue. Jackie, Tito and Marlon join the list of A-list talent that has performed on our stage, including Elton John, Chicago, Rascal Flatts, Jay Leno, Foreigner, Sheryl Crow and Reba McEntire. This show also continues our tradition of supporting Universal Family of Schools with their important work with youth in our region. Stay tuned for more big names and more community partnerships coming this fall and into next year.”

The Jacksons recently celebrated 50 years as one of the most successful groups in music history, Aversa said.

“Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael, five brothers from Gary, Indiana, known originally as The Jackson 5 and later The Jacksons, rose to fame for their combination of extraordinary musical talent and spectacular choreography. They earned the status of pop royalty in the music world, providing the launching pad for what would become Michael Jackson’s legendary solo career.”

In 1980, The Jacksons were honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They were inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999. In 2016, “ABC” joined “I Want You Back” to be inducted into the Recording Academy’s Grammy Hall of Fame.

Other acts coming this fall include Nelly, Deon Cole, Ben Folds, Blues Traveler, Elvis Costella and the Imposters, Blondie, Jo Koy and Friends, Brett Eldredge, Jay Leno, Brain McKnight, Ken Jeong, 3 Doors Down and Ron White, among others.

The XCite Center, which opened in 2017, is located at 2999 Street Road https://www.parxcasino.com/bensalem/xcitecenter. All shows are for audiences 21-years of age and older. Doors open at 7 p.m., with showtime at 8 p.m. Tickets are available through https://www.parxcasino.com/bensalem/xcitecenter.
