Al Jardine and The Pet Sounds Band 

Thursday 2 July 2026, 8pm

Presented by DRW Entertainment

Al Jardine Performing the Classic Hits and Deep Cuts of The Beach Boys

Founding member of The Beach Boys, Al Jardine, joins forces with The Pet Sounds Band — featuring members of Brian Wilson’s acclaimed touring musicians — to celebrate one of the most iconic catalogues in music history. Performing timeless hits like California Girls, Help Me Rhonda, Wouldn’t It Be Nice, Heroes and Villains, Good Vibrations, God Only Knows, and Surfin’ USA, alongside rare tracks from Love You, 15 Big Ones, and The M.I.U. Album, this is a show fans have dreamed of for decades.

The 11-piece ensemble, led by musical director Darian Sahanaja (Brian Wilson’s longtime collaborator), features Matt Jardine, whose remarkable vocals have been praised for capturing Brian Wilson’s youthful spirit. Together, they deliver a stunning celebration of The Beach Boys’ harmonies, energy, and timeless genius.

Jardine’s tribute to his friend and collaborator Brian Wilson promises an unforgettable experience for fans of all generations. As Al says, “We’re all just dying to get back to work — and we’re going to have some fun.”

From The Beach Boys’ early surf anthems to the groundbreaking innovations of Pet Sounds, this tour highlights the depth and brilliance of their catalogue. Few bands defined the sound of summer like The Beach Boys — and few voices embody that legacy like Al Jardine’s. As a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Al continues to share the joy, harmony, and heart of America’s greatest band.

Don’t miss this rare chance to experience “Fun, Fun, Fun” with one of music’s true legends — Surf’s Up!
