Having sold an incredible combined 320 million records worldwide, this is the perfect line-up for an idyllic summer’s evening of dancing.

Celebrating their 50^th anniversary, marked by the 1969 release of their chart-topping debut single, "I Want You Back", The Jacksons; consisting of founding members Jermaine, Tito, Jackie and Marlon, continue to wow audiences across the world as one of the certified biggest band’s of all-time.

With the ubiquitous hits: "ABC”, "The Love You Save" and "I'll Be There", the Jackson 5 made history with their trademark sound in 1970 as the first recording act whose first four singles reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

They ultimately scored 17 top 40 singles on the Hot 100, following with hits such as "Never Can Say Goodbye" and "Dancing Machine", and set a benchmark for popular music.

Originally formed in 1969 – and thus celebrating their 50^th anniversary in music at Audley End next year – Kool And The Gang have earned an incredible two Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards, 25 Top Ten R&B hits, nine Top Ten Pop hits and 31 gold and platinum albums, with seminal hits such as “Celebration”, “Cherish”, “Jungle Boogie”, “Summer Madness”, and “Open Sesame”.

Completing the line-up will be Boney M, featuring original singer and founding member Maizie Williams.
