The Beach Boys will be touring next year in celebration of their 50th Anniversary.

Speaking to Rolling Stone (via CoS), founding member Al Jardine revealed: ‘We’ll do maybe 50 amphitheaters here [in the US] and 50 or 60 overseas. It’ll be whenever the buyers think is the best time for us. We’re wide open for that.’

As previously reported, the band will release their never-completed ‘Smile’ album sessions on 31st October through Capitol / EMI. It will mark the first time the 1966-‘67 material will be available.
