LOS ANGELES, CA – May 20, 2025 – The Beach Boys today 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 at Pechanga Resort Casino – Pechanga Summit in
Temecula, CA (August 8).
Today’s announcement comes as co-founder and chief lyricist Mike Love prepares to be
inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame on June 12 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. For more information on these award-
