Well I do know that Matt was announced to have joined (rejoined?) a few days ago.
So I am guessing it will be him doing the super high parts! As far as that other guy (Ike or something?), I am not sure where he stands.

Brian "Ike" Eichenberger.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

It's complicated. Matt J. came in after Jeff left to work on the record (he sang backgrounds and some placeholder leaders). He was then supposed to join the band -- he did a couple of shows but then announced that he wasn't going to be with the band full-time.
They had to fill the gap again, so they went with Brian "Ike" Eichenberger, who was with the touring version of the Four Freshmen. When the band did the December Vegas show, bot Ike and Matt showed up. When the band did Kimmel, it was just Ike.
Now that the full tour is set up, Matt is joining them again. So it's tough to say what becomes of Ike (who subsequently left the touring Freshmen, IIRC).

Between Matt leaving and Ike joining however, there was one show where Chad Odhner of the Fendertones provided falsetto.

On our way through this "backstage" maze, Bruce joined up with the group and said hello, singing "It Never Rains in Southern California" and joking with some of the older ladies. I'm not sure if they knew he was a Beach Boy or simply an enthusiastic elderly gay gentleman.

JEFF FOSKETT AND HIS INIMITABLE FLASETTO IS IRREPLACEABLE. A TRUE LOSS TO THE BRAIN WILSON BAND!!!
Real talk though, as time wore on dude's voice was entering Adrian Baker levels of grating, so it's really no loss at all he went and joined Mike Love's traveling jukebox. Thank you, Jeff Beck, you vest wearing wank maestro, for helping to set in motion this transfer.
The addition of Matt Jardine (and his father) to an already stellar band has elevated their sound to a whole other level, with a vocal blend better than anything we've heard since The Beach Boys' "Holland" album. Ike's no slouch either, but that Jardine boy is something else. You can really tell he's family.

Chad Ohdner did a gig, maybe two, between Matt and Ike.
Ah, poo, someone else posted that.

I find this interesting, from Mike Loves Facebook page...
I would like to thank Randell Kirsch for the last 11 years as a Beach Boys band member. He will always be near and dear to us and a part of our Beach Boy family. His contribution as singer and bass player with the band has been much appreciated, and I wish him all success going forward with his own musical endeavors. Thank you Randell.
Separately I would like to welcome Brian Eichenberger to the band. His incredible musical background could not be more impressive. Thank you for lending your immense talent to the Beach Boys Live. Peace and Love, Mike Love

What? JF single throatedly ruined 2 albums already. He ought never to sing except in small, highly-controlled doses.
The greatness of NPP lies in alternately harnessing and exiling him.
Real talk though, as time wore on dude's voice was entering Adrian Baker levels of grating, so it's really no loss at all he went and joined Mike Love's traveling jukebox. Thank you, Jeff Beck, you vest wearing wank maestro, for helping to set in motion this transfer.

Remarkable. Can it be confirmed if "Ike" sings on NPP?
Maybe Jeff will stick to middle parts in the harmony stack, while Ike sings the highest. In any case, Randell was a darn good falsettist also.

I don't think Ike is on NPP. I don't recall that he appears in the credits. Most of the falsetto parts are presumably Matt J. and Foskett.

No Ike on NPP. He came along after work on the record had finished.

Or maybe someone wished for Mike and Brian to tour together again, but didn't specify which Brian they wanted.

Hmmm, from his post above, it appears that OSD is attempting to read some type of commentary on Beach Boys politics on my part when I posted an image of a box of Mike & Ike candies. Just to be clear, my post was not intended to imply any type of commentary on band politics and/or the members of the BBs and/or the touring band. Last night, when thinking about Brian "Ike" Eichenberger joining Mike's touring Beach Boys, the image of a box of Mike & Ike candies simply flashed into view.

Nah, not at all. Just thought it was clever but now that you mention it, Mike and Ike does have a more tonal ring than Mike and Bruce.

This is exciting for Mike and his band. I will certainly go see them this summer and also hope "Ike" handles more falsettos while Jeff can drop down and sing some of Carl and Al's parts. Also excited that Matt J is in BW band.

I was unaware that Randell had left the band going into seeing them this past weekend. Ike playing bass but no lead vocals and seemed like he sang backing vocals very sparingly also. Foskett sang most non-Mike leads with the exception of Bruce doing Wendy and Totten doing Ballad of Ol' Betsy and Cowsill on HMR.

Foskett leaving Brian was definitely a shocker, but since he and Brian have both said there's no animosity there, I accept that as just a guy in need of a change. And Ike wasn't even really established in Brian's band any way, as far as I can tell. Was Ike ever actually announced as a member of Brian's group? I remember Matt being announced as Jeff's replacement. Then, Matt announced he wouldn't be going on Brian's fall tour, but we could look for him in a lot of other projects, including Brian's. That's when Ike was brought it, but I don't remember him being announced as a permanent member or replacement for Matt.
I don't see this as someone else jumping ship on Brian. I just see it as a guy who got a job, perhaps because he was working with Brian earlier and they knew he could do it. There seems to be more fluidity between the band members than there is with Mike and Brian themselves. Matt has played with both groups and so does David. And, to a jobbing musician, Mike's group is definitely going to appeal because they play so many dates.

Spot on, Cyncie.
Something went on with Foskett, no doubt, but he was there for such a long time -- and was so visible -- that a change was probably good for everyone.
But Ike played, at most, a dozen shows with them. And given Al's allegience to the BW camp, it only makes sense that Matt would be the choice for any serious touring.
It's all a bit of a mess, but I'm sure there's some suspicion that BW's touring days are winding down. Backing band members will carry the legacy forward, of course, but the BB name will become even more critical in that case.
