The Beach Boys with Special Guest John Stamos

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.

Today’s announcement comes on the heels of “We Gotta Groove: The Brother Studio Years,” The Beach Boys’ new six-disc (3CD & 3LP) 73-track collection released February 13 via Capitol/UMe, which explores the band’s 1976–77 Brother Studio sessions through a trove of unheard outtakes, alternate mixes, instrumentals, demos, and more. Anchored by a newly remastered edition of “The Beach Boys Love You” (1977), the set also includes unreleased songs from the 15 Big Ones sessions and the first official release of the long-shelved “Adult/Child” sessions.

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.

Most recently, co-founder and chief lyricist of The Beach Boys Mike Love was inducted into the 2025 Songwriters Hall of Fame, joining 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. The honor recognizes Love’s profound contributions to songwriting and his enduring impact on popular music.

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 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.
