They’ve sold in excess of 100 million records worldwide, toured the world countless times, played live to millions and now The Beach Boys are headed to Montrose.

The iconic American band will close the 10th anniversary Montrose Music Festival on Sunday 28th May 2017.

Taking to the stage outdoors on the East Links The Beach Boys will perform some of their greatest hits and fan favourites from their 50-year career including Good Vibrations, Surfin USA, Barbara Ann, Fun Fun Fun and Wouldn’t It Be Nice.

Following The Beach Boys’ show, the Montrose Music Festival, which in 2017 will celebrate its tenth anniversary, will come to a close with a fireworks display.

Led by co-founder, principal lyricist and recently New York Times best-selling author Mike Love and Bruce Johnston, who along with Jeffrey Foskett, Brian Eichenburger, Tim Bonhomme, John Cowsill and Scott Totten continue the legacy of the iconic American band.

Announcing the show The Beach Boys’ Mike Love, said: “It’s great that 50 years plus we’re still in a position to be touring and sharing our music with fans around the world.

“We’re really looking forward to performing outdoors in Montrose, and being part of this popular festival. It’s going to be a great night!”

David Paton, Chairman of the Montrose Music Festival, said: “MoFest thrives on attracting big names and legendary musicians to Angus and, this year is no different. We’re delighted that The Beach Boys are joining us for a special Sunday night show to bring our tenth annual live music festival to a close.

“The Beach Boys are renowned as one of the biggest selling bands of all time, and we just can’t believe that they’re joining us for MoFest 2017. This is a really exciting time for MoFest and we promise an exceptional festival.”
