Al Jardine to tour with Pet Sounds Band this summer

Al Jardine will tour this summer with the Pet Sounds Band, a new name for Brian Wilson's former backing group. This marks their first tour since Wilson stopped performing in 2022. The lineup is still being finalized. The tour will feature classic Beach Boys hits and lesser-known songs from the 1970s. Jardine plans to include archival footage during performances to enhance the experience. Specific tour dates have not yet been announced. Jardine aims to share stories and insights about the music, which he rarely did while touring with Wilson. He hopes to keep the band's legacy alive, even as he acknowledges his age and the future of the group.
