The trek kicks off May 25th at the Belvedere Festival Park in Louisville, Kentucky. After a few European dates, the group will return stateside for a gig at Jones Beach in Long Island, New York that will feature special appearances from Al Jardine and David Marks.
“Year after year, it’s been a great source of inspiration to see the happiness our music has brought to multiple generations of Beach Boys fans in so many parts of the world,” Mike Love said in a statement. “This summer I’m particularly excited for the Jones Beach show, which is such a terrific, iconic venue. It will be very special to share the stage with some old friends and bandmates, Al Jardine and David Marks.”
The tour also marks the introduction of singer/guitarist Jeffrey Foskett, who has worked regularly with the group since 1981, as a permanent member of the Beach Boys touring band. He’ll replace Love’s son Christian, who left the group to pursue a solo career (“As talented as he is, I hope he’ll still want to join his dad on stage every once and a while,” the elder Love added).
The Beach Boys expect to announce additional U.S. and international dates later this year, but you can check out their current itinerary below and visit Ticketmaster for ticket information. Starting May 25th, you’ll also be able to visit Mike Love’s website for more information about various VIP packages available at select venues throughout the tour.
