Beach Boys tour 2024 to surf through Delaware. How to get tickets, current members & more
Beach Boys cover songs and tribute bands are a dime a dozen, but to see the rock legends ride the wave of their new tour to The Grand in Wilmington this summer is priceless.
Tickets for this Delaware stop on their "Endless Summer Gold" tour go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 9, while their headline concert at The Grand is Sunday, June 23.
The tour launches in the spring ahead of the debut of the band's new book, "The Beach Boys by The Beach Boys," slated for release on April 2 through Genesis Publications.
How much are Beach Boys concert tickets?
The price of tickets for the Delaware show will be announced soon.
Who are the original Beach Boys members?
The Beach Boys were founded in Hawthorne, California, in 1961 and originally featured three teenaged Wilson brothers, Brian, Carl and Dennis; their cousin Mike Love; and school friend Al Jardine. The band signed with Capitol Records in July 1962 and released their debut album, "Surfin’ Safari,'' that same year.
Beach Boys current members
The current lineup of The Beach Boys is led by Mike Love, along with longtime member Bruce Johnston, musical director Brian Eichenberger, Christian Love, Tim Bonhomme, Jon Bolton, Keith Hubacher, Randy Leago and John Wedemeyer, each of whom continues the legacy of this iconic band, according to press materials.
'Kokomo,' 'Pet Sounds' and 'Good Vibrations'
The Beach Boys are one of the most commercially successful bands of all time, boasting over 100 million records sold worldwide.
Some of their most popular tunes include "Kokomo," "California Girls," "Sloop John B" and "Good Vibrations."
The band, inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1988, has influenced numerous artists over the years, including The Beatles. The Beach Boys' album "Pet Sounds" was ranked No. 2 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2023.
John Stamos is touring with Beach Boys?
Actor John Stamos, famous for playing Uncle Jesse on the sitcom "Full House," is also a drummer, singer and musician who occasionally has toured with The Beach Boys, a band he's been a part of for over 30 years.
Late last year, Stamos joined the band on tour for stops that included Atlantic City and Pennsylvania. Stamos will perform with The Beach Boys on Feb. 21 and 22 in Hawaii, according to HawaiiNewsNow.com.
Will Uncle Jesse be a special guest when The Beach Boys tour to Delaware this summer? We'll just have to wait and see.
What is The Beach Boys' new book about?
The autobiography is published in a limited edition of only 500 copies worldwide.
The book, which includes rare and iconic photographs, spotlights the group's rise from a garage band to an international act, covering the release of their first single, "Surfin,'' to their 1980 Independence Day concert at the National Mall in Washington, which drew an audience of over 500,000 people.
The Beach Boys will play The Grand (818 N. Market St., Wilmington) on Sunday, June 23. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 9. For more info, visit thegrandwilmington.org or (302) 652-5577.
