Woohoo! Good for you guys! Hopefully you get more but still great that you're getting a show.
Just met a guy from the UK who flew in just for tonight's show because he was tired of waiting for the UK dates..

Thanks -
I guess now we may entertain hopes that there'll be more Euro dates TBA. Since Hong Kong is Aug 25, and this one's a month later, there's space to be filled...

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

This is awesome-the first time I saw them was at Wembley Arena in 1989, aged 11. Since then, I've been to numerous BW shows and the odd Mike and Bruce show so this is like coming full circle.
I wonder if there'll be any VIP packages available.

Congrats UK!
'It is part of a full European tour.'
So continental Europe, Asia mid August, Australia (TBA) done by end of August.
Further to The Don's post. Seems odd to reform and travel for just one show? More could be added at Wembley (or elsewhere) if there is a demand.

Tickets are priced at £65.00 / £55.00

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

No.....the tour will have made enough money by then that they won't be required!
Seriously. They would be nuts not to.

You need to be on the O2 mobile network.
If you're not, like me, but know someone who is, you could ask very very kindly for their login details!!

Wembley sometimes takes out the seating but it depends who is playing. I'd be shocked if there was standing, to be honest, although I'm liking the image of Mike Love crowd surfing during one of David's solos!!

Bit of a gamble, I agree. Common sense tells me, however, that a standalone show at Wembley, a full month after the Hong Kong one, as the only one for Europe is very unlikely, from a logistical viewpoint. There was some speculation about them not visiting the UK at all because of prohibitive cost factors. My guess is that a number of good venues in the UK and mainland Europe will be selected still - I bet the Boys could easily sell out the Heineken Hall in Amsterdam for two nights.

That would seem like the logical thing to do, sadly logic doesn't always come into play with The Beach Boys

True dat. They're the only bunch of musicians in the history of the universe who could make 2 + 2 equal 5.
