Julien's Auctions is adding another jewel in our crown as the top purveyor of pop culture artifacts. An unparalleled piece of music fashion will appear in the upcoming Music Icons auction: a photo-matched jacket worn by Michael Jackson, the King of Pop himself, during his legendary 1980s Victory Tour.

A revolutionary tour in an era forever etched in music's collective memory, the "Billie Jean" jacket is instantly recognizable from the iconic music video that shattered barriers on MTV.

This Victory Tour jacket holds even more significance. Launched in July 1984, it marked the only time all six Jackson brothers – Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, Randy, and of course, Michael – would share a stage for a full tour. Though Jackie sustained an injury during part of the tour, the reunion was a momentous occasion for fans who had followed the Jackson 5 since their Motown days.

The Victory Tour itself was a colossal undertaking. Spanning 55 concerts across North America, it played to a staggering 2.5 million fans. The tour boasted a record-breaking production with elaborate sets, pyrotechnics, and cutting-edge lighting that pushed the boundaries of live performance in its day.

The moment served as a victory lap for the Jacksons and a celebration of Michael's unprecedented solo success. Fueled by the global phenomenon of his album "Thriller," Michael was already a superstar. The Victory Tour cemented his status as the King of Pop, showcasing his electrifying stage presence and hits like "Billie Jean," "Beat It," and "Thriller."
