Concert promoters AEG Live said the delay was necessary because the singer needed more time for dress rehearsals.The first show, on 8 July, has been pushed back by five nights. Three other July dates will not take place until March 2010.
The delays immediately stoked speculation that Jackson's health is poor, but promoters said the issue was a production snag.
Some 750,000 tickets to the "This Is It" tour sold out within hours in March, AEG said.
Die-hard fans made plans to travel from overseas, and promoters said Wednesday that anyone who can't attend the rescheduled shows will be entitled to a full refund.
