Surf’s up.
From February through September, The Beach Boys will tour all over North America as part of their ‘Endless Summer Gold Tour.’
Along the way, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees are scheduled to stop into Saratoga Springs (May 25), Staten Island (May 30), New Jersey (June 1) and Long Island (Aug. 8).
They’re also scheduled to headline at the star-studded New Orleans Jazz Festival and Louisville, KY’s stacked Bourbon and Beyond Festival this year.
Amazingly, this will be the group’s 63rd year together after having formed way back in 1961.
To put that in perspective, that’s three whole years before The Beatles ever performed in the good old U.S. of A.
And yes, original members Mike Love and Bruce Johnston are still with the group, too.
Plus, as an added bonus “Full Time” star John Stamos shows up every now and then.
Want to hear the boys deliver the hits like “Good Vibrations,” “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “God Only Knows,” “California Girls,” “I Get Around” and so many more timeless classics live?
As of today, you can grab tickets for all of The Beach Boys’ 2024 concerts.
Although inventory isn’t available on Ticketmaster until Friday, Feb. 9, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

Beach Boys 2024 tour schedule
As of now, The Beach Boys have a whopping 50+ shows and festivals lined up this year including a few doubleheaders — afternoon and evening concerts.

New Orleans Jazz Festival
The year’s most exciting festival is in the Big Easy this year.
