<snip>
Officials of Summerfest Productions revealed yesterday at a hastily called press conference that Tito, Randy and Jackie Jackson have been confirmed. Marlon, the other original member of the band, may also join their brothers in Jamaica for Reggae Sumfest, the festival promoters said.

Tito Jackson is set to also perform on International Night II, Saturday July 25 alongside his brother Randy.

Matriach of the Jackson family, Katherine, and Michael Jackson's three children will be special guests of the Jamaican government. They will be presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award for Michael Jackson by Summerfest Productions.
------------------
And the week after Summerfest, the Government of Jamaica will sign our first IMF agreement since the 1980s. Never question the priorities of these morons.

Blame the opportunists who smell media coverage.

3. Performing at a concert is getting free stuff?

4. was anyone clamoring to have them perform anywhere, before?

their golden goose is gone now, and the estate will take a while to settle, so I guess they have to make a buck somehow.. I;m sure the people who pay to see them will have a great time.. no harm no foul
