An ultimate Michael Jackson tribute band needs glitzy jackets, glittery gloves and 80s regalia. It must pay studious attention to the intricate details of every original groove and gravity-defying dance step. It must demonstrate a commitment to the unforgettable musical legacy the King of Pop left us.

In 2004, WHO’S BAD mesmerized a standing-room only gathering of friends and pop music lovers at a small nightclub in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. They have since played over 700 shows in numerous countries and now boast the title, “The Ultimate Michael Jackson Tribute Band.” Their live performance is a musical extravaganza that pulls from hours of Michael Jackson’s catalogue and spans four decades of MJ’s extraordinary music career.

From ABC to You Rock My World, no song is forgotten in this electrifying revival of pop music’s royal highness. WHO’S BAD has crafted an intricate performance complete with synchronized dance routines, a blaring horn section and down-deep rhythms. They’re the longest running MJ tribute band and the only one that predates his passing.

Whether you idolized the Jackson 5, fell in love to Human Nature or memorized all of Thriller’s creepy choreography, WHO’S BAD: The Ultimate Michael Jackson Tribute Band is authentic, music-driven, must-see entertainment that navigates you back to that special place.

With recent appearances on Access Hollywood Live and EXTRA, Under the Streetlamp is making quite the name for themselves. These former cast members from the Chicago troupe of Jersey Boys have quite an extensive tour schedule, and can be seen in their own special on local PBS stations. “People often ask us why we call ourselves Under the Streetlamp. For us, that simple image epitomizes all the joy, intimacy, and passion wrapped up in the era of music we like to call the ‘American Radio Songbook.’ Thoroughly diverse and infused with an indomitable spirit, this music is iconically American.”
