The brothers--Tito, Jermaine, Michael, Jackie, Marlon, and Randy--last toured together as a six-piece in 1984 before Michael left, in between his massive-selling Thriller and Bad albums.
Jermaine said: "We feel we have to do it one more time. We owe that to the fans and to the public."
Asked whether Michael would be involved, Jermaine told BBC 6Music: "He has to be, he is a Jackson. He was at the meetings. Michael will be involved."
The reunion had been delayed by Michael's infamous 2005 court case, but the brothers are currently recording some new material as well as finalizing details for their tour.
