**THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED TO JANUARY 18**
Founded in 2003, Who’s Bad’s live performance is an unrivaled celebration of pop music’s one true King.
Their power-packed performance of Michael Jackson’s expansive catalog has united and ignited crowds on almost every continent, and can only be described as a jaw-dropping, musical must-see. As the longest-running Michael Jackson tribute, and the only one to predate his untimely passing, Who’s Bad is the World’s #1 Michael Jackson Tribute.� �Performing over 2500 shows worldwide, they have awed even the skeptics, selling out nearly 50 venues in the United Kingdom including London’s O2 in December of 2010, the venue where the King of Pop was slated to end his career with a 50-show “This Is It” concert series.
Beyond this unparalleled achievement, Who’s Bad has checked some of the world’s most famous pavilions off their ‘to-do’ list, selling out their first tour of China with stops at Ningbo’s Grand Theatre and Hunan Grand Theatre in Changsha. Since then, Who’s Bad has toured in Thailand, Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Canada, Germany, Amsterdam and more.
Never neglecting Michael’s U.S. fans, Who’s Bad travels almost every week of the year to spread the L.O.V.E. and has packed The House of Blues franchise all across the United States; rocked DC’s 930 Club and returned to their home state of North Carolina, boasting larger, more eagerly-awaited performances with every romp around the globe. Sold-out shows from China to Los Angeles, Brazil to Romania tell the story: no corner of the earth is safe from this infectious party production.
Who’s Bad has earned its name by paying studious attention to Michael Jackson’s every original groove and gravity-defying dance move, boasting over 100 years of professional experience and a team of dancers with resumes that range from Broadway productions to Super Bowl halftime shows.��The velvety vocals and pinpoint choreography of frontman Taalib York combined with the band’s grooves, down-deep rhythms and the dancer’s synchronized dance routines results in a performance delivered with soul and precision superseded by no one but the King himself.
They’ve shared stages with such mega stars as Aretha Franklin, The Backstreet Boys, The Four Tops, Boys II Men, and hip hop superstar, Pitbull. Captivated fans include LIVENATION’s Anthony Nicolaidis who calls Who’s Bad, “the real deal,” and Michael Jackson’s longtime friend and manager Frank DiLeo who proclaimed after Who’s Bad show in Nashville, TN, “the show was great….Michael would have been proud!”
Whether you idolized the Jackson 5, fell in love to Human Nature, or learned to moonwalk to Billie Jean, Who’s Bad is THE ULTIMATE music-and-dance driven Michael Jackson homage. This band of professionals relentlessly elevate the legacy of pop music’s King, always pushing themselves to be more precise, to raise the level of excitement and awe, while embodying Michael Jackson’s mission to bring people together of all races, genders, and cultures through live music.
As the curtain opens on a Who’s Bad performance, every MJ fan feels the adrenaline, screams at the sight of that unmistakable silhouette, and succumbs to a surefire Michael Jackson sing-along. The energy is purely magnetic, the musicianship is first-rate, the dance moves deftly inspired. Who’s Bad is a tribute befitting a King and their high- octane execution of MJ’s music and dance has catapulted them to the exclusive rank of Ultimate!
