Brian Wilson<\/a> and the Zombies<\/a> will embark on a North American tour this summer celebrating their music from 1968 and beyond.<\/p>\n

The \u201cSomething Great from \u201968\u201d tour will launch August 31st at the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada and wrap September 26th at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. Tickets go on sale May 10th, while pre-sales start tomorrow, May 8th. Complete information is available on Wilson\u2019s website<\/a> and the Zombies\u2019 website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wilson will primarily perform songs from his two favorite Beach Boys albums, 1968\u2019s Friends<\/em> and 1971\u2019s Surf\u2019s Up<\/em>, while also scattering the setlist with rarities and classics. His former Beach Boys bandmates Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin will join the Hall of Fame musician onstage.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been quite a year and I\u2019m ready to go out and tour some music that makes everyone have a feel good vibe,\u201d Wilson said in a statement. \u201cThe Friends<\/em> album has always been one of my favorites, and I love the music from that time in history.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the Zombies, the recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees<\/a> will open each show with a full performance of their seminal 1968 record, Odessey<\/em> and Oracle<\/em><\/a>, alongside other selections from their long career. The shows will also notably feature Rod Argent and Colin Blunstone reuniting with fellow co-founders Chris White and Hugh Grundy, who will perform alongside the current iteration of the Zombies. However, the first two shows of the tour \u2014 August 31st in Las Vegas and September 1st in Indio, California \u2014 will just feature the Zombies\u2019 current lineup sans White and Grundy.<\/p>\n

Wilson\u2019s bandmate, Darian Sahanaja, said, \u201cAny fan of Pet Sounds<\/em> should immediately identify with Odessey and Oracle<\/em>. Rich harmonic tapestries, baroque impressions with an underlying melancholy\u2026 classicism with an emotional yearning that I find common in both Brian\u2019s songwriting and that of The Zombies. To be able to perform with both entities on the same bill is a dream within a dream within a \u2018hung up\u2019 dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n
