About Who’s Bad: The Ultimate Michael Jackson Experience
Who’s Bad was born from fandom, fueled by obsession, and built on respect.
Founded in 2003, Who’s Bad has spent over two decades honoring the music, movement, and spirit of
Michael Jackson — not by imitation, but by re-creating the feeling of his legendary live performances.
What began as a passion project has grown into a globally touring concert experience that has united
audiences on nearly every continent through the timeless power of MJ’s music.
With more than 2,500 performances worldwide, Who’s Bad has earned its reputation the hard way —
night after night on stages across the U.S., Europe, Asia, and beyond. From sold-out runs in the United
Kingdom, including London’s O2 Arena, to landmark tours through China, Thailand, Abu Dhabi, Saudi
Arabia, Mexico, Canada, Germany, and more, the message has been universal: Michael’s music still
brings people together.
At home in the U.S., Who’s Bad travels relentlessly, packing theaters, clubs, festivals, and the House of
Blues nationwide. Every show is a celebration — of the songs, the fans, and the energy that made Michael
Jackson a once-in-a-lifetime artist.
The show’s power lies in its details. Every groove, every vocal inflection, every gravity-defying dance
move is studied, respected, and performed live by a cast of world-class musicians and dancers with
backgrounds ranging from Broadway to Super Bowl halftime shows. Fronted by the velvety vocals and
pinpoint choreography of Taalib York, the band delivers a performance with soul, precision, and an
undeniable emotional charge.
Who’s Bad has shared stages with icons including Aretha Franklin, The Backstreet Boys, The Four Tops,
Boys II Men, and Pitbull. Industry leaders have taken notice — Live Nation’s Anthony Nicolaidis calls
the band “the real deal,” while Michael Jackson’s longtime manager Frank DiLeo famously said after
seeing the show, “Michael would have been proud.”
Whether you grew up with the Jackson 5, fell in love to Human Nature, or learned to moonwalk to Billie
Jean, Who’s Bad offers more than a concert — it offers connection. As the lights go down and that
unmistakable silhouette appears, audiences don’t just watch the show… they become part of it.
This is not nostalgia.
This is not a costume act.
This is a living, breathing celebration of the King of Pop — performed with love, integrity, and the kind of energy that only comes from true believers.
Who’s Bad doesn’t just perform Michael Jackson’s music.
They keep it alive.
