The Beach Boys announce another anniversary tour

The Beach Boys plan to hit the road in celebration of the Golden anniversary of the release of their single ‘Fun, Fun, Fun‘ – but it seems Brian Wilson will not be involved.

Wilson, along with Al Jardine and David Marks, was apparently given his marching orders by Mike Love when the band completed a previous anniversary tour in 2012. And while a statement announcing the new tour appears to welcome back Marks and Jardine, there’s no mention for Wilson.

“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,” Mile Love’s statement reads.

“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 live shows start on May 25th in Louisville, Kentucky and will take in several European festivals.
