Jul 26, 2011, 9:54 GMT
Los Angeles - Michael Jackson's family announced plans Monday for a massive tribute concert for the late King of Pop to take place October 8 at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.
Plans for the concert were announced at a Beverly Hills press conference by Jackson's mother Katherine, brothers Marlon, Tito and Jackie, and sister La Toya.
They said the concert would include a reunion of the Jackson brothers, and that other star performers would be announced soon.
'This tribute will be something that is spectacular,' said La Toya Jackson.
The concert comes more than two years after Jackson died on June 25, 2009, just as the 50-year-old was about to start a sold-out comeback tour in Britain. His personal doctor, Conrad Murray, is to go on trial in September on manslaughter charges for allegedly giving Jackson the dose of the hospital anesthetic Propofol that caused his death.
