The Michael Jackson tribute concert is set to be broadcast live at venues across America.
The late King of Pop's mother Katherine and siblings La Toya, Tito, Jackie and Marlon recently announced their plans to hold a star-studded show in the UK later this year. To ensure Jackson's fans in America don't miss out, event organisers Global Live want to stream the show at several 'major arenas' in the US.
'A rep for Global Live - the company behind the event - who tells us producers are working with several major US venues in the hopes of broadcasting the event on jumbotrons to give audiences the concert experience without having to go all the way to Wales,' reports TMZ.
Global Live are reportedly 'actively' trying to secure a deal at the moment, but nothing has yet been finalised.
Some of the biggest names in the music industry are believed to have been invited to perform at the concert. Stars including Jay-Z, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Chris Brown, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Usher have all been approached. However, it has been reported Cee Lo is the only artist who has accepted the invite so far.
The show is scheduled to take place in Cardiff, Wales, on October 8.
