The Beach Boys reschedule summer tour dates so that Mike Love can “recharge”
The Beach Boys have officially rescheduled their upcoming summer tour dates to provide Mike Love with a period of rest. Love, who remains the only original member in the current touring iteration of the group, needs this break to recharge before resuming performances later this year.
A statement issued by the band notes that they have enjoyed their time on the road celebrating both the 250th anniversary of the United States and the 60th anniversary of the classic album Pet Sounds. To ensure their high energy levels persist, the group will pause their schedule effective immediately.
Fans holding tickets for the affected shows occurring between July 23 and September 3 will have their entry honored when the tour picks back up on September 24. The band is slated to return to the stage in Springfield, Massachusetts, with several other cities scheduled throughout the fall months.
Recent reports indicate that the decision follows a busy year of performances across North America and Europe. While the band has faced challenges regarding personnel changes and the passing of Brian Wilson last year, they remain committed to their scheduled appearances following this brief intermission. Further information regarding specific tour venues and updated scheduling is available through the group's official website.
