The veteran singer spoke about the pop act's plans at a TV industry function in Sydney. "This has been a long time coming for the Jackson family to get back together," he told the Australian Associated Press.
"It is just the timing, so what we've been doing is working on the music and all the logistics.
"It is going to be more like a family affair, Janet's going to open and, of course, the original Jackson 5... Michael, Randy and the whole family... We're in the studio, we're planning on being out there next year."
The Jackson brothers, with the exception of Michael, appeared together at the BMI Awards in LA earlier this year.
Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael Jackson recorded a string of hits on the Motown label in the 1970s including 'ABC', 'I Want You Back' and 'I'll Be There'. Younger brother Randy replaced Jermaine in 1975 when the group left Motown.
