New U.S. and European dates in 2026
The current incarnation of The Beach Boys, led by longtime member Mike Love with Bruce Johnston, has scheduled an extensive series of 2026 shows under the Good Vibrations banner. The itinerary mixes theaters, arenas and outdoor venues, continuing the band’s focus on multi-generational audiences.
In the United States, the group’s routing leans on key touring regions in the Midwest, South and on both coasts, with dates positioned around spring and summer when their surf-rooted catalog resonates strongest. Many of the shows are slated in secondary markets where classic rock packages traditionally perform well, while still including a handful of major metropolitan stops.
How the tour is structured for fans
The 2026 Good Vibrations Tour follows the template of recent Beach Boys tours, often pairing the band with regional orchestras, local openers or nostalgia-focused lineups depending on the market. This flexibility helps the group adapt from intimate performing arts centers to large outdoor amphitheaters.
Setlists typically run well over 20 songs and lean heavily on 1960s and early 1970s material, including staples like Good Vibrations, California Girls, Surfin' U.S.A. and God Only Knows, alongside deeper catalog cuts for longtime followers. Against this backdrop, the band’s live productions emphasize vocal harmonies supported by a sizable touring ensemble.
