The Beach Boys today announced that actor, producer, and musician John Stamos will join as a special guest for select U.S. dates on The Sounds of Summer Tour. Marking his 40th anniversary performing with the legendary band, Stamos will join The Beach Boys this Summer at Lowell Memorial Auditorium in Lowell, MA (June 10); The Town Hall in New York, NY (June 13); PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ (June 14); Jones Beach in Wantagh, NY (July 5); Constellation Brands Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center (CMAC) in Canandaigua, NY (July 6); Pechanga Resort Casino – Pechanga Summit in Temecula, CA (August 8); The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park in San Diego, CA (August 9); and Long Beach Terrace Theater in Long Beach, CA (August 10). The Beach Boys also recently announced that they will bring their Sounds of Summer Tour to Las Vegas for a three-night engagement at The Venetian Resort on October 1, 3 and 4.
Today’s announcement comes as co-founder and chief lyricist Mike Love prepares to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame on June 12 in New York City. As the lyricist behind timeless Beach Boys classics like “California Girls,” “Good Vibrations,” “The Warmth of the Sun,” “I Get Around,” and “Fun, Fun, Fun,” Love’s work has left an indelible mark on pop culture and continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. He joins an esteemed 2025 class that includes The Doobie Brothers’ Michael McDonald, Tom Johnston, and Patrick Simmons; George Clinton; Ashley Gorley; Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins; and Tony Macaulay.
Stamos has had a longstanding relationship with The Beach Boys dating back to July 4, 1985 when he played his first official show with the iconic band at the Washington Monument, for close to a million people. Stamos aimed to introduce a younger generation to the timeless music of The Beach Boys and prominently featured the band on Full House and his subsequent television shows. Marking his 40th anniversary performing with the band, Stamos has maintained an enduring friendship with The Beach Boys and has captivated audiences on various worldwide tours. Stamos has appeared in several of their music videos and even directed the video for their song “Hot Fun in the Summertime.” One of his most notable contributions was his appearance in their chart-topping hit single “Kokomo.” Stamos enthusiastically describes The Beach Boys music as “heart music,” explaining how it bypasses the brain and goes directly to the heart.
The Beach Boys continue to remain at the forefront of music and culture through a series of impactful and high-profile projects. In 2024, The Beach Boys documentary premiered on Disney+, offering fans an in-depth look at the band’s journey—from their humble beginnings to their ascent as one of the most influential acts in music history. Directed by Frank Marshall and Thom Zimny, the film features never-before-seen footage and interviews with band members including Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, and Bruce Johnston, alongside insights from industry icons such as Lindsey Buckingham and Janelle Monáe. The documentary’s soundtrack, released by Capitol/UMe, includes timeless Beach Boys hits as well as the bonus track “Little Blue Bathing Suit” by Stephen Sanchez.
In 2023, the group was honored in the CBS tribute special Grammy Salute to The Beach Boys, which featured memorable performances by artists like Beck, Brandi Carlile, Michael McDonald, Pentatonix, St. Vincent, Weezer, Norah Jones, John Legend, and Mumford & Sons, celebrating the band’s enduring influence across generations and genres.
Expanding their legacy beyond music, Mike Love’s entrepreneurial drive is evident in his co-founded venture, Club Kokomo Spirits. The company’s artisanal rums—including the award-winning Artisanal White and Barrel Finished varieties—have received widespread acclaim, earning two Double Gold medals at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. This recognition underscores the brand’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship, a fitting parallel to the enduring harmony and excellence that define The Beach Boys.
