| Submission declined on 5 August 2023 by Gene93k (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Gene93k 19 months ago. | |

Comment: No set list, amount of tours is empty, only two sources both of which are newspaper.com OLI 08:52, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: One reference appears to be a fan site. The WP:NTOUR notability guideline needs non-trivial reliable source coverage beyond just verifying that it happened. • Gene93k (talk) 01:03, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

| The Jacksons concert chronology | |
"Goin' Places" was an interim concert tour launched by American band, The Jacksons in support and to promote their twelfth studio album "Goin' Places". The tour started on January 22 somewhere in Europe and ended on March 5, 1978 at the Selland Arena in Fresno, California. The tour would take the brothers through the United States, Europe, and Trinidad and Tobago.
Overview
[edit]Trinidad and Tobago
[edit]Spektacula Promotions's promoters Frank and Caude Martineau brought the brothers to Trinidad and Tobago in February 1978. The group preformed 3 total shows in the country being 2 in Port of Spain at Queen Park Savannah and 1 in San Fernando at Skinner Park with all 3 concerts being sold out. Martineau states that the team realized having so many concerts was uneconomical. "You don't want all that expense, we charged $20 and the shows were sold out at that price which was plenty of money."[1]
United States
[edit]The brothers primarily jaunt around cities in California. The tour was initially going to end with a proposed "teen night" event was going to take place at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California. A planned merchandise sale including a special edition "Goin Places" picture disc that reads "Jacksons", "Dodgers", Teen Night", "May 13, 1978" displaying a picture of Dodger Stadium.
Stage
[edit]During an interview, it was told that the stage costed around 150,000 dollars and that the brothers had more than just "an empty stage with amps and guys holding guitars". During their time in Oakland, the special stage effects never arrived.[2]
