Brian Wilson opens his World Tour in Bristol on 15 May 2016
Posted on: 25 Jan 2016Music icon Brian Wilson, famed for his work with The Beach Boys and as a solo artist, will play Bristol’s Colston Hall on Sunday 15 May 2016. The worldwide tour will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of Wilson’s seminal record, Pet Sounds.
Originally released on 16 May 1966, Pet Sounds has been firmly written into music legend as one of the greatest albums of all time. It was a departure from the classic Beach Boys commercial tone and is considered a concept album. It was released to huge critical acclaim and reached the Top 10 in the US and Number 1 in The UK. Fans in attendance can expect to hear the album performed in its entirety, along with huge hits and fan favourites from his 54 year career as a member of The Beach Boys and a solo artist.
“It’s really been a trip to sit here and think about releasing Pet Sounds 50 years ago,” says Wilson. “I love performing this album with my band and look forward to playing it for fans all across the world.”
