Legendary musician and former Beach Boy Brian Wilson has announced US tour dates this summer in support of his forthcoming album No Pier Pressue, slated for an April 7 release via Capitol Records. Wilson will be joined on tour by former bandmates Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin.
Wilson made the announcement shortly before a Facebook Q&A with fans, posting: "I'm sitting at Capitol Records and ready to answer some questions. Before I start, I want to share some cool news: I'm going on tour this summer starting in June. Both Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin will be joining me and my band and we will have the amazing Rodriguez opening the shows in the US. I'm really excited." The Brian Wilson biopic Love and Mercy was released last year, while No Pier Pressure will be his 11th solo studio album. Tour dates are after the jump.
