🎶🌴FREE! BEACH BOYS @The Rady Shell!🏄‍♂️🎶

Join us for a magical evening of surf-rock nostalgia, heartfelt tribute, and that unmistakable sound of the BEACH BOYS BAND! Good Vibrations guaranteed!

We’ll be gathering to enjoy the music of The Beach Boys as they perform live at San Diego’s beautiful Rady Shell—for free—from designated surrounding public areas outside the venue.

This concert is part of the band’s 2025 Sounds of Summer Tour, celebrating their enduring legacy and timeless California sound.

Original lead singer Mike Love, longtime keyboardist Bruce Johnston, and their stellar touring band are bringing the iconic Beach Boys energy to life. Making it even more special, actor and fan-favorite John Stamos—who has performed with the band for decades—will be joining the San Diego show as a special guest.

While the band’s co-founder and musical genius Brian Wilson (1942–2025) will not be present, this tour pays loving tribute to his groundbreaking artistry. Wilson, who passed away in June, was the visionary behind Pet Sounds, Good Vibrations, God Only Knows, and so much more. Though he won’t be on stage, every harmony and chord we hear carries the legacy he created.

• Mike Love – Original Beach Boy and spirited frontman
• Bruce Johnston – Vocals, keys, and longtime Beach Boys member
• Touring Band– Featuring musical director Brian Eichenberger and more
• Special Guest - Actor/musician John Stamos on drums, guitar, and vocals
