The Beach Boys have postponed their upcoming shows scheduled for July and August. A message from the band, “Playing for you is the highlight of our summer every year—especially as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States while saluting the 60th Anniversary of Pet Sounds. We’ve been having a blast out there, and to keep the good vibrations going strong, we’ll be taking a short break to recharge before getting back on the road in September. All tickets for postponed performances (July 23 through September 3) will be honored following our return late September. Please contact your local box office for additional information and questions. Thanks for your understanding —we can’t wait to see you back out there for a September to Remember.” All Beach Boys ticket holders who purchased tickets from the alaskastatefair.org website will automatically receive a full refund, including fees. Depending on the bank, please allow up to a week for the refund to be reflected on the credit card of purchase. Stay tuned for another concert announcement!

The Beach Boys Biography

With hit singles, albums sold by the tens of millions, and decades of accolades, The Beach Boys remain one of pop music’s most enduring bands. Their legacy is measured not only by chart success, but by their longevity, influence on other artists, and loyal fanbase of longtime listeners and new generations alike.

 

After landmark moments including the release of Pet Sounds in 1966, the chart-topping Endless Summer in 1974, the success of “Kokomo” in 1988, and their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame that same year, The Beach Boys have continued to tour extensively and share their music with audiences around the world.

 

In 2012, the band marked its 50th anniversary with a reunion tour featuring the surviving original members and the release of That’s Why God Made the Radio, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard charts. In 2016, they celebrated the 50th anniversary of “Good Vibrations” with the 50 Years of Good Vibrations tour. More recently, the group was honored with the 2023 CBS tribute special A Grammy Salute to The Beach Boys, and in 2024, The Beach Boys documentary premiered on Disney+.

 

Today, the band is led by Mike Love, who continues the group’s live performance legacy alongside musical director Brian Eichenberger, Christian Love, Tim Bonhomme, Jon Bolton, Keith Hubacher, Randy Leago, John Wedemeyer and Chris Cron. In addition to his role as frontman, Love co-wrote many of the band’s most memorable songs, including “Surfin’,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “I Get Around,” “Help Me, Rhonda,“ ”California Girls,” “Warmth of the Sun,” “Good Vibrations” and “Kokomo.” In 2025, he was

inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, honoring a career defined by culture-shaping lyrics and enduring melodies
