Surf’s Up! The Beach Boys Are In Town

Are you ready for Good Vibrations flowing from the speakers at ‘The Pub’? Because audiences are getting “the excitations” as Australia’s biggest and best Beach Boys experience is set to surf into Airlie Beach in a weeks’ time.

‘Do You Wanna Dance?’ Because your chance is coming up for an afternoon in the North Queensland sun with ‘Your Summer Dream’, cruising down Airlie Esplanade to The Airlie Beach Hotel where The Australian Beach Boys Show will rock the Bar-top Stage in early December.

The California pop group were just kids when they formed in 1962 and now, 60 years down the road, their legendary music is still the iconic sound of sun-drenched days. And there’s nowhere more attuned to what it means to be a Beach Boy than Airlie where one of the country’s best tribute shows is headed on December 3.

The Australian Beach Boys Show boasts an amazing stage production that not only features Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys’ songs, but also recreates the magical “wall of sound” experience that Wilson so famously and successfully crafted.

God Only Knows what we’d be without the Beach Boys, and this two-hour live show delivers as close to the real experience as audiences can get six decades on.

From the striped blue and white shirts to Hawaiian flowers and replica instruments, this Beach Boys tribute will put a Smiley Smile on your dial. And what a perfect time for it with ‘Little Saint Nick’ less than a month away!

It’ll be a Surfin’ Safari when this tribute tribe run the Beach Boys’ gamut of tunes: Songs like ‘Surfin USA’, ‘Little Deuce Coupe’, ‘Barbara-Ann’, and ‘Help Me Rhonda’.

Oh ‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice’ to hear ‘Kokomo’, ‘Then I Kissed Her’, and ‘California Girls’ while watching the twinkling sun on the Airlie Beach foreshore? In this fully costumed show featuring stage props, a huge video display, costume changes, and more – you can heart it. In fact, one better: You can live it.

For ‘Auld Lang Syne’, head down to The Airlie Beach Hotel to see one of the very best tribute performances the country has to offer. There’s no better year than the 60th anniversary of one of pop and rocks best groups ever to relive the glory days. Grab a meal, ‘Darlin’’, ‘Let The Wind Blow’.

And hey, it’s entirely free. ‘Aren’t You Glad’?
