A rock-concert style tribute to the King of Pop will come to Gwinnett, as one of the stops on the Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour.
Cirque du Soleil, as well as the Jackson’s estate, announced Saturday, May 10 and Sunday, May 11 concert dates at the Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth.
The show, which is a departure from Cirque du Soleil’s previous shows, is one of the top 10 grossing music tours of all time, since its premiere in October of 2011.
