“Can you feel it” will be ringing round Elgin next summer as hit band The Jacksons will play at the MacMoray Summer Festival in the town.
The band – formerly called Jackson 5 – came to prominence in the 1970s.
Next year’s MacMoray Summer Festival, which takes place on August 10-11 at the Moray town’s Cooper Park, is the “Blame It on the Boogie” band’s only scheduled date in Scotland during 2024.
The band, which has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, is now made up of three of the original five brothers; Jackie, Marlon and Tito, while the latter’s son Taryll is also a member.
As well as The Jacksons, rockers Status Quo will also perform at the two-day event, which made its debut in April 2022.
The rockers, whose hits include “Rockin’ All Over the World” and “Whatever You Want” will also take to the Elgin stage in August.
Meanwhile, “Mysterious Girl” singer and TV personality Peter Andre will perform at the MacMoray Easter Festival on May 4-5.
‘It is so exciting’
In a line-up described as being “something for everyone”, the Easter festival also includes Scouting for Girls, The Drifters and The Hoosiers, as well as a host of others.
MacMoray organiser Andy Macdonald said: “It is so exciting to have one of the world’s biggest bands coming to Moray.
“It’s extra exciting because it is a Scottish exclusive with MacMoray. This will be huge for the local economy and business.”
