List of concert tours by the Jackson 5

The Jackson 5 are an American music group, formed in 1964 by the Jackson family brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael. The brothers' first invitation to perform was in Glen Park in 1965, with other early concerts at Theodore Roosevelt College and Career Academy, Gilroy Stadium, Gary's Memorial Auditorium, Regal Theater, Chicago and Apollo Theater, Harlem in 1967.

The quintet's first concert tour was in the United States, where they performed in cities such as Boston, Cincinnati and New York City throughout the final quarter of 1970. The brothers remained in their homeland for two more US tours, before successfully expanding to Europe in 1971 and the rest of world the following year.

With Motown owning the name 'Jackson 5' the move to Epic Records renames group to The Jacksons, while Jermaine who had married Hazel Gordy (Berry Gordy's daughter) remains and the Jacksons embarked on another tour of Europe, where they performed in front of Queen Elizabeth II. After their interim concert series in 1978, the siblings proceeded with the Destiny Tour, a promotional platform for their similarly named album. Their 1981 36-city circulation of the United States—the Triumph Tour—came next. The Jacksons' final tour together was in 1984, following the release of two albums: the band's Victory and Michael Jackson's Thriller. The Victory Tour spanned 55 performances in the United States and Canada and grossed over $75 million.

The HIStory World Tour covered 35 countries, with the Unity Tour covering 19 countries. Between all the group and solo tours, the brothers have played concerts in more than 50 countries on 6 continents.

Some of the countries include United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Brazil, Australia, India, and Russia.
