INDIANAPOLIS —
The Estate of Michael Jackson and Cirque du Soleil are proud to present “Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour,” in Indianapolis on Feb. 24 and 25 at Conseco Fieldhouse.
This once-in-a-lifetime production combines Jackson’s music and choreography with Cirque du Soleil creativity to give fans worldwide a unique view into the spirit, passion and heart of the artistic genius who forever transformed global pop culture.

The Immortal World Tour takes place in a fantastical realm where fans discover Jackson’s inspirational Giving Tree — the wellspring of his creativity. The secrets of Jackson’s inner world are unlocked — his love of music and dance, fairy tale and magic, and the fragile beauty of nature.
The underpinnings of The Immortal World Tour are Jackson’s powerful, inspirational music and lyrics — the driving force behind the show — brought to life with power and intensity. Through unforgettable performances Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour underscores Jackson’s global messages of love, peace and unity.

For the past 12 years, he has served as Madonna’s creative director, and most recently directed world tours for Rihanna, Celine Dion, Spice Girls, Britney Spears and Avril Lavigne.
