Overview

The Beach Boys, one of the world's most influential bands, are reunited for the first time in more than two decades. Stops in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth mark their fiftieth anniversary, and an end to years of resentful animosity.

Playing forty hits spanning over six decades, the tour's new show is described as being "complete and comprehensive", with these old gods once again bringing their summer sound to a wintry Australia.

Since forming back in 1961 in California, The Beach Boys have cemented themselves as one of the world's most iconic rock bands, with hits like 'Surfin' USA' and 'I Get Around' still being listened to by all age groups even today. Their 29th album, That's Why God Made The Radio, was released in June this year, propelling the band back to the top ranks of the the US chart where they belong.
