A Celebration of 40 Years & A Tribute To MJ

The Detroit Opera House announced today that Tito and Marlon Jackson will lead a tribute to the Jackson 5 and Motown Records on October 4, 2009.

The show will celebrate the group's 40th anniversary and the label's 50th, and will include a segment dedicated to Michael Jackson, their late brother.

Billing themselves as "Tito and Friends," the brothers hope to be joined by other Motown performers, said show publicist Carmen Carter.

Tickets for the Detroit Opera House show are $35-$75 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday via Ticketmaster. A portion of proceeds will be donated to the Motown Historical Museum in the name of the Michael Jackson-founded Heal the World Foundation.

The Jackson 5 got their break via Detroit's Motown Records in the late 1960s, landing 17 top 40 hits and setting the stage for Michael Jackson's stratospheric solo career.
