Aloha Hawaii

Michael chose Hawaii as the place to greet the new millennium in the United States;

Concert promoter Marcel Avram explained that; “Michael felt he should perform in Hawaii at the millennium because it’s the last chance and place in the United States where an American can enjoy this once in a lifetime experience. Michael’s desire was to close the millennium in the United States with a beautiful event and Hawaii is a place he very much enjoys.”

While details of the event at the Aloha stadium are still being worked out, the New Year’s Eve millennium extravaganza is expected to include other groups and will last from late afternoon to well-beyond midnight.

Details of the show, including its official name, the other acts, types of festivities within the event and ticket prices will be announced within “days or weeks,” said Marcel Avram, producer and promoter of the concert. “There are a great many things to coordinate,” he said. “This is not the usual concert like the last time Michael performed in Hawaii (in January 1997).

A millennium show is a huge enterprise and until we have everything decided from the technical point of view and the other acts, we don’t want to make any incomplete announcements.

Though the top ticket may be the highest-priced ever for a concert in Hawaii, Marcel Avram said other ticket prices will fit regular budgets.”
