Al Jardine And The Pet Sounds Band Plot 2025 Australian Tour

Original Beach Boys member Al Jardine will bring the iconic band's sounds to Australia this October, backed by the immensely talented The Pet Sounds Band.

Featuring Brian Wilson’s acclaimed touring musicians, The Pet Sounds Band will join Jardine as he digs through The Beach Boys’ deep cuts and the classics for this upcoming tour. “I’ve been gathering up the troops – Brian’s excellent band,” Jardine commented in a statement. “We’re all just dying to get back to work, and we’re going to have some fun.”

Jardine met Mike Love, Brian, Carl, and Dennis Wilson upon moving to Hawthorne, California, in the mid-1950s. Together, they formed The Beach Boys in 1961. Jardine was a guitarist, singer, and songwriter within the band, singing lead on the band’s #1 hit, Help Me Rhonda, in 1965. In 1988, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2001, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammy Awards.

Al Jardine’s 2025 Australian tour begins at Hobart’s Wrest Point Casino on Thursday, 23 October. It continues at Adelaide’s Thebarton Theatre on Saturday, 25 October, Brisbane’s QPAC on Tuesday, 28 October, Melbourne’s Hamer Hall on Wednesday, 29 October, the Sydney Opera House on Friday, 31 October, and wraps up at Perth’s Regal Theatre on Sunday, 2 November.

Upon hearing the devastating news that Brian Wilson had passed away last week, Jardine said, “Brian Wilson, my friend, my classmate, my football teammate, my Beach Boy bandmate and my brother in spirit, I will always feel blessed that you were in our lives for as long as you were. You were a humble giant who always made me laugh, and we will celebrate your music forever. Brian, I’ll really miss you…. still I have the warmth of the sun within me tonight.”
