Jermaine Jackson has confirmed rumors that The Jackson 5 are getting back together.

The entire iconic band, including Michael Jackson, will tour beginning next year.

“This has been a long time coming for the Jackson family to get back together,” Jermaine told AAP on Wednesday.

“It is just the timing, so what we’ve been doing is working on the music and all the logistics.”

“It is going to be more like a family affair, Janet’s going to open and, of course, the original Jackson 5 … Michael, Randy and the whole family … we’re in the studio, we’re planning on being out there next year.”
