The Beach Boys have confirmed a second UK show, with the band heading to Dreamland in Margate on June 23, 2022.
It follows news that the legendary band will play London’s Royal Albert Hall on June 24. Both shows will be part of their “Sixty Years of the Sounds of Summer” tour.
The current iteration of The Beach Boys is led by Mike Love alongside longtime member Bruce Johnston.
Other members of the current lineup include musical director Scott Totten, Brian Eichenberger, Christian Love, Tim Bonhomme, John Cowsill, Keith Hubacher and Randy Leago.
The band’s Brian Wilson and Al Jardine are not involved in the ‘Sixty Years of the Sounds of Summer’ tour and recently announced a co-headline US tour with Chicago for summer 2022, after UK dates were postponed. United due to COVID-related complications.
Tickets for the Beach Boys show at Dreamland will go on sale Friday, February 4 at 9am GMT here.

Earlier this month, two new clips from a documentary film about Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson were released.
Directed by Brent Wilson (unrelated to Brian) Long promised road traces Wilson’s life and career through “a literal and metaphorical journey exploring Brian’s hometown”.
In the first clip, Elton John talks about Wilson’s commitment to touring: “Brian will always want to get out there and perform. He will always want to make records. It’s because music runs through his veins.
The second clip sees Wilson hailing the track ‘Sail On, Sailor’ as “probably one of the best songs I’ve ever written”.
The documentary also features contributions from Bruce Springsteen, Nick Jonas, Linda Perry, Jim James, Gustavo Dudamel, Jakob Dylan, Steven Page, Taylor Hawkins, Al Jardin, Bob Gaudio, Don Was, Blondie Chaplin, Stephen Kalinich and Andy Paley.
In NME’s four-star review, the film is described as a “career-long contemplative documentary”.
“When it comes to finding out who Brian Wilson is today, however, the guard remains firmly in place. A conversation at a restaurant, where Brian admits that his “simple and modest” life means he hasn’t had a friend to “drag shit” with in years, is as candid and naked as it gets. Her grief at losing her brothers Dennis and Carl remains unspoken, deeply buried. We have to sympathize with him sitting alone in the car outside Carl’s old house, wiping a tear from his eye.
Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road has now been released in UK cinemas.
