The Beach Boys shows cancelled day before tour was set to resume

The Beach Boys have cancelled further shows on their comeback tour just a day before they were scheduled to go back out on the road.

The band were due to play the Big E Arena in West Springfield, Massachusetts, as part of their “Endless Summer Gold” tour on Thursday 24 September.

However, the show appears to have been cancelled and is no longer an active listing on the venue’s website.

Meanwhile, Univest Performance Center in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, said a planned concert on Friday 25 September would no longer go ahead due to “circumstances beyond the control” of the venue.

The same reason was cited by the Alabama Theatre in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, when it announced the cancellation of the Beach Boys show scheduled for Sunday 27 September.

The Independent has contacted the Beach Boys’ representatives for comment.

A string of summer tour dates were previously postponed by the band in July, as frontman Mike Love said he needed time to “recharge”.

“Playing for you is the highlight of our summer every year – especially as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States while saluting the 60th Anniversary of Pet Sounds,” a statement from the band shared to Love’s Instagram said..

“We’ve been having a blast out there, and to keep the good vibrations going strong, we’ll be taking a short break to recharge before getting back on the road in September,” he added.

The Beach Boys shows take place as the band celebrate the 60th anniversary of their seminal album, Pet Sounds, released in 1966.

In an interview with The Independent earlier this year, founding member Al Jardine recalled how the band had been in Japan when they received a call from the late Brian Wilson, who by then had quit touring after suffering a devastating panic attack during a flight to Houston.

“He wanted us to come home immediately – he was so excited about this new project, and of course we were anxious to hear what it was,” Jardine recalled.

Jardine noted that the songwriting on Pet Sounds was “a little darker” than what fans were used to, certainly a departure from the carefree sound of early songs such as “Fun, Fun, Fun”, “Surfin’ USA” or “I Get Around”.

“It was really a Brian Wilson album, if you want to know the truth,” he said. “It was his feelings, primarily, his creation, and he was experimenting. It was his album, and really, we were just background singers. We were there to help him out.”

He added: “We always respected Brian’s creative approach, anything he brought to the table – and he respected us.”

Wilson died in June 2025, aged 82, leaving Love and Jardin as the sole surviving founding members of the band.

Jardine tours with members of Wilson’s band under the name Al Jardine & the Pet Sounds Band.

Love is next scheduled to perform with the Beach Boys on 9 October at the Grossinger Motors Arena in Bloomington, Indiana.
