Michael Jackson was rehearsing for which tour at the time of his death? Michael Jackson was rehearsing for the planned This Is It concert residency. The shows were scheduled to take place at London’s O2 Arena, beginning in July 2009.

Jackson announced the comeback concerts in March 2009, presenting them as a major return to live performance. The production was originally planned as a series of 50 shows, although additional dates had been discussed after the initial concerts sold out. Rehearsals took place in Los Angeles at venues including the Staples Center and The Forum.

Jackson died on June 25, 2009, before any of the London performances could begin. He had attended a rehearsal at the Staples Center the previous evening. More than 100 hours of rehearsal and behind-the-scenes footage were later used in the concert documentary Michael Jackson’s This Is It, released in October 2009.

This Is It is sometimes called a “tour,” but it was formally a concert residency: a scheduled run of shows at one main venue rather than a conventional multi-city tour. The alternative names in the question refer to earlier Jackson tours or unrelated concert productions.
