Simon Dibley, Chief Executive of UDO, said; “Michael Jackson wasn’t just a singer, he was also one of the world’s best dancers, inspiring thousands of people. This tribute, on the same weekend as Jackson’s Birthday, is our way of giving thanks to him and we’re confident that the all star line-up will put on a great show for everyone.”
