The Sounds of Summer Tour marks Stamos’ 40th anniversary performing with the band
The Beach Boys have announced that actor, producer, and musician John Stamos will join as a special guest for select U.S. dates on The Sounds of Summer Tour. Marking his 40th anniversary performing with the legendary band, Stamos will join The Beach Boys this summer eight dates on the run spanning the Northeast and West Coast. The Beach Boys also recently announced that they will bring their Sounds of Summer Tour to Las Vegas for a three-night engagement at The Venetian Resort on October 1, 3 and 4.
The announcement comes as co-founder and chief lyricist Mike Love prepares to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame on June 12th in New York City. As the lyricist behind timeless Beach Boys classics like “California Girls,” “Good Vibrations,” “The Warmth of the Sun,” “I Get Around,” and “Fun, Fun, Fun,” Love’s work has left an indelible mark on pop culture and continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. He joins an esteemed 2025 class that includes The Doobie Brothers’ Michael McDonald, Tom Johnston, and Patrick Simmons; George Clinton; Ashley Gorley; Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins; and Tony Macaulay.
Stamos has had a longstanding relationship with The Beach Boys dating back to July 4, 1985 when he played his first official show with the iconic band at the Washington Monument, for close to a million people. Stamos aimed to introduce a younger generation to the timeless music of The Beach Boys and prominently featured the band on Full House and his subsequent television shows. Marking his 40th anniversary performing with the band, Stamos has maintained an enduring friendship with The Beach Boys and has captivated audiences on various worldwide tours. Stamos has appeared in several of their music videos and even directed the video for their song “Hot Fun in the Summertime.” One of his most notable contributions was his appearance in their chart-topping hit single “Kokomo.” Stamos enthusiastically describes The Beach Boys music as “heart music,” explaining how it bypasses the brain and goes directly to the heart.
The Beach Boys remain at the forefront of music and culture through their recent projects. In 2024, The Beach Boys documentary debuted on Disney+, offering fans a comprehensive look at the band’s journey from their humble beginnings to becoming one of the most influential acts in music history. Directed by Frank Marshall and Thom Zimny, the film features never-before-seen footage, interviews with band members including Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, and Bruce Johnston, and contributions from other industry luminaries such as Lindsey Buckingham and Janelle Monáe. The documentary soundtrack, available via Capitol/UMe, includes classic Beach Boys hits and the bonus track “Little Blue Bathing Suit” by Stephen Sanchez.
In 2023, The Beach Boys were honored in the CBS tribute special Grammy Salute to the Beach Boys, which featured performances from Beck, Brandi Carlile, Michael McDonald, Pentatonix, St. Vincent, Weezer, Norah Jones, John Legend, and Mumford & Sons among others
Further expanding The Beach Boys’ legacy, Love’s entrepreneurial spirit shines through his co-founded venture, Club Kokomo Spirits. The company’s artisanal rums, including the acclaimed Artisanal White and Barrel Finished varieties, have earned prestigious recognition, such as two Double Gold medals at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. This prestigious recognition highlights the dedication to quality and craftsmanship that Club Kokomo embodies, paralleling the enduring legacy of The Beach Boys’ music. Both the Artisanal White and Barrel Finished rums have been acclaimed for their exceptional flavors, much like the harmonious sounds that have defined The Beach Boys for generations.
