The Beach Boys to Perform at New Bridgeport Amphitheater in August
The Beach Boys will be performing at the new Hartford Healthcare Amphitheater on August 29 as part of their 2021 Feel Flows World Tour. The show joins the previously-announced Brothers Osborne concert in the 2021 summer lineup.
Felix Cavaliere’s Rascals will open for The Beach Boys.
In February, Hartford Healthcare purchased the naming rights to the amphitheater after initially going by the name of the Harbor Yard Amphitheater.
The Beach Boys have sold over 100 million records worldwide and have received more than 33 Platinum and Gold record awards. The legendary rockers redefined the surfer rock genre. This year marks 60 years since the Beach Boys began in Hawthorne, California, and recorded their first song, “Surfin.’”
In 2012, the surviving members of the Beach Boys — Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, and David Marks — put aside decades of bad blood to record a new album and launch a long 50th-anniversary tour that had them playing their classics at venues from New Orleans JazzFest to London’s Royal Albert Hall.
“The tour… blew away all my expectations,” Brian Wilson said afterward. “We had a blast, the fans were so supportive and I loved being able to record and sing with the guys.”
They have made very few joint appearances since splitting, though they all did reunite for a one-off Q&A session moderated by director Rob Reiner at Capitol Records in Los Angeles in 2018.
The upcoming shows will not feature founding members Brian Wilson and Al Jardine.
Back in February, The Beach Boys have rescheduled their tour to spring and summer 2021.
Tickets for many of the dates, including the August 29 performance are available here.
