Pay per view screening of controversial Michael Jackson tribute concert

Foxtel will offer a pay per view live screening of the concert that has divided the Michael Jackson family and fans.

It’s timing has been criticised by many fans, and both shunned and supported by different members of the Michael Jackson family, but Foxtel will screen Michael Forever: The Tribute Concert on its pay per view channel, Main Event.

It will beam live from the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, on Sunday, October 9 at 4am AEDT and replay in primetime at 6pm.

The event has an impressive line-up of singers, including Christina Aguilera, Black Eyed Peas, Cee Lo Green, Alien Ant Farm, Alexandra Burke, Craig David, Jennifer Hodson, Diversity, Gladys Knight, Leona Lewis, Pixie Lott, Ne-Yo, and Smokey Robinson.

Staged by Global Live Events, the concert has the support of Katherine Jackson, Marlon, Tito, Jackie, and La Toya Jackson but brothers Jermaine and Randy have objected to the show taking place during the criminal trial of the Dr. Conrad Murray, accused of Michael Jackson’s death.

Many fans, including The Michael Jackson Fan Club, have also called on the event to be rescheduled.

The pay per view fee for a 24 hour screening is $24.95 inc. GST.

Jamie Foxx will host the star-studded event at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, with members of the late singer’s family, including his mother and his children, in attendance.

Tito Jackson’s sons, international platinum selling act 3T, will perform in Cardiff on the night, as will a number of Michael’s siblings in various combinations.

The only place to watch Michael Forever – The Tribute Concert is on FOXTEL’s MAIN EVENT – don’t miss this opportunity to see the controversial event which has divided the Jackson family.

Global Live Events is organising the concert which will be televised live around the world. As well as paying homage to Michael Jackson, the event will assist in raising awareness and funds for some of the charities he supported, including the AIDS Project Los Angeles and The Prince’s Trust.

  1. I noticed on the Main Event adverts for this concert, there is fine print at the bottom of the screen saying “Artist lineup is subject to change”

    does that mean not all/anyof the artists billed for the concerts have been confirmed?
