The Beach Boys coming to Tenerife

Some folk may groan about Tenerife attracting another act that probably plugs their pacemakers into their amps and uses Zimmer frames as mike stands, but this is one that is almost guaranteed to be Fun, Fun, Fun ...

The Beach Boys are to play the Pabellón Insular de Tenerife Santiago Martín (popularly known as La Hamburguesa), the oval building alongside the highway between Santa Cruz and La Laguna, on Wednesday, July 7th, 2010, which will be their last European date before returning to the US.

Tickets are available via General Tickets CajaCanarias (at 25, 35 and 40 €)

Coincidentally, I saw the Beach Boys when they were supporting Elton John (who also played in Tenerife in recent years), 35 years ago, on June 21st, 1975, at the Mid-Summer Music Festival, Wembley Stadium, London. They may not be someone you would usually choose to go to see, but they were one of the high spots of that day and had the whole of Wembley on their feet, dancing and singing along.

If you're of a certain age, you know you already know the lyrics, if not grab yourself a copy of their Best Of ... album, but  either way, I'm certain that this will be a summer fun concert that will drive away any doldrums you might be in.
