Tour Cancellations and Rescheduling
The Beach Boys, currently on the “Endless Summer Gold” tour that runs through November, have canceled all performances scheduled between July 23 and September 3. The cancellations affect state fair appearances in Wisconsin, Indiana, Oregon, Alaska and Colorado. The band’s statement posted on the affected venues’ websites said the group will take a short break to “recharge” before returning to the road in September. Some of the canceled shows have been rescheduled, while others remain listed as “to be announced.” The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts confirmed that its Friday performance will not be rescheduled and that tickets will be automatically refunded.
Background and Recent Personnel Changes
Frontman Brian Wilson, who died in June 2025, had been leading the tour until his passing. Johnston indicated he will still appear with the band on special occasions, including a planned Hollywood Bowl show celebrating the United States’ 250th birthday. Actor-musician John Stamos continues to join the band at select tour stops.
Impact on Fans and Venues
Ticket holders for the canceled dates are expected to receive refunds automatically, depending on the point of purchase. Venue operators expressed disappointment but wished the band well during the pause. The lack of new dates for some shows leaves fans uncertain about when, or if, they will be able to see the group again.
Outlook for the Remainder of the Tour
The band plans to resume touring in September, with the “Endless Summer Gold” itinerary extending through November. No further cancellations have been announced, and the group’s statement emphasized a return to “good vibrations” after the brief hiatus.
