Pet Sounds'
50th Anniversary
Brian Wilson performs Pet Sounds
Tuesday September 6, 20:00 at Harpa (C4). Admission: 9,990-15,990 ISK
In 1966 the Beach Boys released their iconic record “Pet Sounds.”
Inspired by The Beatles’ “Rubber Soul,” the album was, and still
is, incredibly influential in popular music due to its vocal har-
monies, symphonic arrangements and the overall creativity and
quality of its production. This year, in honor of its 50th anniver-
sary, Brian Wilson is taking the album on tour once again for 70
dates around the world, joined by his backing band and former
bandmates Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin. On Tuesday, he’ll
stop in Reykjavík and bring some of those sweet 1960s summer
vibes to the end of the season. We’re promised performance of
the full “Pet Sounds” album, as well as hits and favorites span-
ning Wilson’s 54-year career, both as a part of The Beach Boys,
and his solo work. “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 play-
ing it for fans all across the world.” PY
