50th Anniversary Tour Dates (as they roll out) (*UPDATED, Feb 15th*)

[The Shift]

I  am of the opinionation that Mr. Doe, an insider party to specific informationiasisms, is teasing us now and displaying his powers by choosing not to unveilicate the UK touring dates of the Beach Boys, a popular rhythm combo from California who might or might not be celebratificationing their semi-centenary.

...is the right answer. I just heard that the BBs will play each and every British city, town, and village, for free.

Wahoo!  Saratoga Springs, NY.  I am so there!!

[Melt Away]

See you in Pittsburgh!!!

Brian's website says more soon, but doesn't include the other Euro dates. So I am not more worried that the UK dates won't be added. This is really bad! I never would have thought the UK would be overlooked! If they aren't doing any I'd rather know now so that I can decide whether I fly to somewhere else.

Mike & Bruce have regularly played Tucson (my home) for years, so I'm glad to see they are apparently coming here rather than Phoenix. Now my worry... since it's listed as the very first show, I believe this will be a HUGE event, not only for Tucson but the musical world. It's not a large venue, although of course I have no way of knowing how else it might be configured for any particular show. I suspect tickets will sell quickly; sure hope I can get in.

Seems like the first couple of dates might be kind of smaller, test shows -- I think the big kick off will probably be the NOLA show. But yeah -- if the anticipation gets higher, you'll want to scramble for tickets!

Also, this heartens me -- anyone notice that there are dates both in theaters and in larger, outside venues? Anyone thinking we're going to have a two setlists situation?

[Rocker]

Didn't Mike mention that three Japan dates were ooked ? I'm sure we'll hear about other dates soon.

I think I'm going to buy tickets for the Italian shows just in case, if they haven't announced UK shows by Friday.

[CarlTheVoice]

Oh I am so annoyed by this! If there are going to be UK dates, they should just say these will come on soon. Then we know we will have some. Not saying anything is so bad! I've had a lot of bad luck recently and it seems like it's just carrying on!

[Mikie]

Yipeeeee!!!  Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

I'll see a few of you Bay Area fans on June 1 at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley or the following month at Harvey's Lake Tahoe Amphitheater in Stateline, Nevada!

Gotta be cool now, power shift here we gooooooooo!

that article linked above indicates more than 100 dates and implies Blondie will be joining for the entire tour:

For the first time in more than 20 years, all of the original surviving members — Brian Wilson, Mike Love and Al Jardine — of the Beach Boys will join longtime members David Marks, Bruce Johnston and Blondie Chaplin to perform live together on a worldwide tour featuring at least 100 dates and starting in New Orleans on April 27.

Even though the May 15th show is one day after my birthday and very close to us, the Westchester County Center is not really known for their concerts.

Looks like Dad and I go gambling at Sands to what will be a newly opened Sands event center for May 19th

Ughhhhh...not the Bowl.....!  It's nearly impossible to get any of the pool circle seats up front as you have to be a member of the ticket club.   Siiiiiiigh.

Haven't read this whole thread, so sorry if this has been mentioned, but...
Is anyone else taken aback by the ticket prices? The Beacon Theater shows in NYC are $236 or $153 for balcony. That's a lot of clams.

[Runaways]

where are y'all seeing prices and stuff. i can't even find those dates

It's New York City.

The Hollywood Bowl is a fantastic world-class venue since the remodel, with awesome sound and sightlines anywhere you sit.  I don't care if I have to sit in the back row, I'm thrilled they're at the Bowl.

I'm confused by the Beacon link...on the BB site it says on sale Feb 20 yet you go to that site they provide in the link and they look to be already on sale for high prices.  The site does NOT look official to me but more like a scalpers' site.  It looks like tickets for any event at the Beacon is through Ticketmaster (you can find all the events for sale there) but the Beach Boys are not yet listed on Ticketmaster for tickets...

Yeah, well, for those of us in northern New Jersey, there are no other nearby shows. I guess I could drive down to Camden, NJ. That's near Philadelphia and is about 1.5 hours from me. Saw Brian in NYC and it was about $100 for pretty good seats.

I hope you're right, and lower priced tickets will be listed when the tickets go on sale.
