VIENNA - The Austrian promoter helping to organize next month's tribute to Michael Jackson in Vienna says the three-hour show will be televised live to a global audience.

Georg Kindel says organizers are still negotiating with networks on rights to broadcast the show, which will be held on the grounds of Vienna's stately Schoenbrunn Palace.

Kindel told The Associated Press that Jackson's brother Jermaine expects 1 billion people to watch worldwide.

He said Tuesday the tribute will feature "some of the biggest artists of our time" performing 15 to 20 of Jackson's greatest hits.

Kindel said the event will be held in the second half of September, and that the date and lineup will be announced soon.

Kindel said the tribute was originally planned for London's Wembley Stadium on August 29, which would have been Jackson's 51st birthday, but that Jermaine Jackson decided instead on Vienna.

NE-YO is desperate for a place on the star-studded bill at the MICHAEL JACKSON tribute concert in Austria next month (Sep09) and has already picked the track he wants to perform.

The R&B star paid his own tribute to the King of Pop by singing his 1982 track The Lady in My Life at the BET Awards in Los Angeles on 29 June (09) - just days after the superstar's death. And he wants to repeat the performance at the concert the Jackson family is planning for Vienna.

Jermaine Jackson recently confirmed the tribute will take place in the grounds of the city's former imperial Schoenbrunn Palace.

Organisers claim to have secured a "high-profile lineup of international stars". Ne-Yo tells WENN he "hasn't got a phone call yet" but adds, "I'd love to take part in it. My favourite Jackson song is Lady in My Life."

Jackson tribute in Vienna set for Sept. 26

VIENNA — A global tribute to Michael Jackson on the grounds of a 17th century palace in Vienna will be held Sept. 26, and Jackson's brother Jermaine will announce the concert lineup soon, organizers said Wednesday.

World Awards Media GmbH, the event promoters, said Jermaine Jackson would unveil details at a Vienna news conference later this month.

The promoters said in a statement they were working "briskly" to line up major entertainers and a network to broadcast the event live. They said Vienna agreed to be a partner "in this singularly worldwide event."

On Tuesday, World Media Awards chief Georg Kindel told The Associated Press the tribute was expected to run three hours and feature about 10 top artists performing 15 to 20 Jackson hits. They would perform on a crown-shaped stage to be built in front of Vienna's Schoenbrunn Palace.

Kindel said Jackson family members and unidentified Hollywood stars also would honor Jackson as images and video clips were screened.

Last week, Jermaine Jackson said Vienna was chosen as the venue because his brother "loved castles."

Many fans had expected the tribute to be staged in London, where the pop star had been booked to begin performing a marathon of concerts shortly after his June 25 death in Los Angeles.

Renate Brauner, Vienna's deputy mayor, said the city is thrilled to play host to "this high-carat, internationally sensational event."

Austrian media have reported that Madonna, U2, Lionel Richie and Whitney Houston might be among the performers. Kindel declined to confirm those reports and stressed that Jermaine Jackson is still assembling the lineup.

Tickets are expected to go on sale Aug. 20.

Organizers envision standing room for about 85,000 people on the sculpted grounds of Schoenbrunn, a former imperial palace, and grandstands to accommodate 5,000 VIP guests.

Jackson tribute i Wien sat til d. 26. september

Wien — En global tribute til MJ på plænen af et palads fra det 17. århundrede i Wien, vil blive afholdt den 26. september, og Jackson's bror Jermaine vil annoncere koncertens line-up snart, sagde arrangører onsdag.

World Awards Media GmbH, som er promoters, sagde at Jermaine Jackson vil løfte sløret for detaljerne i en presse-konference, som afholdes i Wien senere på måneden.

Arrangørerne sagde i en udtalelse at de arbejder hastigt på at line nogle af de største navne op, samt finde et netværk der kan transmittere det live. De har ligeledes udtalt at Wien har accepteret at være partner i denne "enestående verdens-omspændende event."

I tirsdags talte World Media Awards chefen, Georg Kindel med The Associated Press og sagde at tributen regnes at vare omkring 3 timer og have i omegnen af 10 top artister som optræder med mellem 15 og 20 jackson hits. De vil optræde på scenen der vil være udformet som en krone, umiddelbart foran Wien's Schoenbrunn Palads.

Kindel sagde at Jackson familie-medlemmer og endnu uidentificerede stjerner ligeledes ville ære MJ mens der på skærm vil vises billeder og video-klip.

I sidste uge, sagde Jermaine Jackson, at Wien var udvalgt til eventet, fordi hans bror "elsker slotte."

Mange fans havde regnet med at tributen ville blive afholdt i London, hvor popstjernen var booket til at påbegynde et marathon af koncerter, kort før sin død den 25. juni i Los Angeles.

Renate Brauner, Wien's vice-borgmester, udtaler at byen glæder sig meget til at være vært for "denne unikke, internationalt sensationelle event."

Østrigske medier har reporteret at Madonna, U2, Lionel Richie og Whitney Houston måske er imellem de optrædende. Kindel har nægtet at verificere disse rygter, og understregede at Jermaine fortsat er ved at sammensætte line-up.

Billetter forventes at blive sat til salg den 20. august.

Arrangørernes vision er at der vil være omkring 85.000 stå-pladser på plænen foran Schoenbrunn, et tidligere majestætisk palads, og tribune til omkring 5.000 VIP gæster.

Hva´mener du med ..."når det er Jermaine der står for at arrangere det.."? ?

[WillYouBeThere]

Han har bare tendens til at annoncere de helt store ting, som så generelt aldrig bliver til noget... Men det lyder da ret officielt det her, så lad os håbe på det.

[HeavenCanWait]

Ellers tager vi det bare som en weekend i Wien uden tribute-showet, men regner da med og håber på, at det bliver til noget

Jackson Familly Shut Out of Jermaine's Plans

Posted Aug 15th 2009 1:20AM by TMZ Staff

Jermaine Jackson is learning a hard lesson -- the Jackson family doesn't take kindly to kinfolk who make promises on their behalf without even bothering to tell them.

You know the big flap over the Vienna Tribute concert -- where Jermaine was spearheading a special show and touting that members of Michael Jackson's family were behind it? Well family sources tell us the family is ticked that Jermaine used them to sell tickets. The family, we're told, never agreed to participate. In fact, Tito told us he was never even invited.

The family isn't happy with J.J. because the concert may now be in jeopardy and stories are being written that the brood caused the concert to crumble.

Bottom line -- Jermaine was out on his own (again) pitching his stuff and the family was out of the loop.

Så er der lidt at studerer

Har hørt, at det er meningen at Michael skal optræde sammen med Jermaine, ligesom Celine Dion gjorde med Elvis.
Er der nogen af jer, der ved noget om det ?
Hvis det er rigtig, håber jeg så sandelig ikke børnene skal være der, det vil da være for umenneskeligt.

Jo MJ skal optræde med Jermaine, på samme måde som med elvis. Men det oplever publikun ikke. Der er en på scenen der bevæger som MJ og så vil moderne teknik gøre at TV-seere vil se MJ med Jermaine, men det oplever Live publikumet ikke! På youtube kan man også se en video hvordan de forklarer hvordan de lavede det.

Bliver sgu lidt mærkeligt at se - så stortuder man nok igen
