I heard from industry insider there's a World Tour coming. I will let you know if I have more details.
Tickets shouldnt be more than a cinema ticket price.

Dan;4148243 said:On May 5, an announcement came from Executive Chairman of Pulse Evolution Corporation at the Canadian Music Week that the company is working on a new virtual Michael Jackson which is looking much more realistic than their version from the 2014 Billboard Music Awards!
Canadian Music Week welcomed keynote speaker John Textor, Executive Chairman of Pulse Evolution Corporation (PLFX), pioneer and leading developer of hyper-realistic digital humans for holographic live performances, virtual reality, augmented reality and artificial intelligence, as part of this year’s Digital Media Summit on Thursday, May 5. Widely credited as the pioneer of the new industry of Holographic Entertainment, he is responsible for the 2012 appearance of Virtual Tupac Shakur at the Coachella Valley Music Festival and the 2014 performance of Virtual Michael Jackson at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards, the latter generating more than 35 million YouTube views and 98 billion Internet impressions worldwide. In 2015, PLFX’s new hologram music industry secured ‘pop culture status’ as Textor and his partner Frank Patterson were parodied in the ‘Hologram episodes’ of the globally successful animated sitcom, South Park.
Currently, Textor is active in the development of entertainment properties across a broad spectrum of venues and technology platforms. In addition to his leadership in the extended uses of photo-realistic, digital humans, he is also currently a Producer of Art Story, an original animated feature film currently being developed by Disney veteran filmmaker Aaron Blaise, as well as Producer and Executive Producer of Ender’s Game, a science fiction fantasy film released in November 2013.
The 30 minutes talk happened at the Digital Media Summit in Toronto, Ontario, at 2:30 p.m. on May 5, 2016.The Digital Media Summit is Canada’s premier social media and interactive marketing conference. It is presented in conjunction with Canadian Music Week in Toronto and features thought leaders in the digital and social media space. Textor featured in a keynote interview entitled “Master of Surreality.” The interviewer was Ted Cohen, managing partner of TAG Strategic and a former Sony Music executive.
In March, 2016, Pulse Evolution announced a landmark partnership with Simon Fuller’s XIX Entertainment. Pulse and Fuller — the British impresario who created the American Idol franchise and has worked with the Spice Girls, Amy Winehouse, Annie Lennox, and David and Victoria Beckham — aim to combine the highest quality visual imagery, including hyper-realistic digital humans, with the most advanced and rapidly evolving display technologies to create immersive content for stage, virtual reality, augmented reality and artificial intelligence.
Earlier this year, Pulse Evolution received investments from China’s Original Force Computer Animation Co. Ltd. and Shanghai U9 Game Co. Ltd., both of which are portfolio investments of Tencent Holding Limited, a $200 billion global conglomerate.

A world tour is a dreadful idea. He has passed, whoring his image out and getting people to pay to see an impersonator as if he's "come to back to life" is no worse than the Michael album fiasco.
I don't doubt you, but we also heard that there were world tours, Apollo shows with Whitney Houston, Billie Holiday and Jackie Wilson about to happen last year. Their families were all supposedly on board.I heard from industry insider there's a World Tour coming. I will let you know if I have more details.
The only reason I'd like a tour is to make it easier for me to see it.. aside from that I don't think it's the best idea, it should be in a theater designed specifically to make the hologram look as authentic as possible.. Which means specific stage sizing, seat angling, best lighting as possible.. Usually 3D work works best in its specified room that was built for it.. Or 3D picture designed specifically for the room it will be displayed in..
When you tour, every theatre or arena is different..
Like how the theatre for Captain EO was designed specifically for that movie.The only reason I'd like a tour is to make it easier for me to see it.. aside from that I don't think it's the best idea, it should be in a theater designed specifically to make the hologram look as authentic as possible..

Maybe they need to develop the technology for a traveling 3D stage design.
I know, it would be nice for the ones who never saw MJ Live but you have to admit it sounds a little 'off' to go see a Hologram LIVE. What would the Billboard say then... "MJ is back" :blink: Nah, I would definitely see the CGI Hologram in cinema. They could do that worldwide too like "This is it" but a world tour is a BIG uke: for me.
At that point you might as well just watch an actual concert.
I know LOL. It's confusing, isn't it?
I am 'excited' about the Hologram though. I love technology and I was really 'wowed' when I saw that latest one. It definitely looks awesome but still I'm a bit 'sceptical' irate: when it comes to making $$$ on MJ behalf. I think its more about 'principals' here.
Not gonna happen
It will happen, because my source is a promoter. but of course not this year.
....Report back here when things get far along enough to start discussing ticket prices, so I can get my coins together LOL.It will happen, because my source is a promoter. but of course not this year.
