Victory Tour
July 6, 1984 - December 9, 1984.
In 1984, The
Jacksons toured across the U.S.A and Canada for 5 months with the
Victory Tour. The tour began in Kansas city, Arrowhead Stadium, July 6,
1984 and ended December 9, 1984 in Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles. During
the 55 concerts that were performed, over 2 million people attended. A
record $75 million was grossed. Michael donated $5 million to charities,
all proceeds he collected from the tour. Thanks to Michael, Pepsi-Cola
over-took thier arch rivals Coca Cola for the first time. It was at the
last show of the tour that Michael annouced his split from The Jacksons.
This was the last tour that Michael participated in with "The
Jacksons", however Michael went on to tour several more times as a solo
artist.
