In its first two seasons, the Raleigh Amphitheater has established a reputation for quality booking. And the venue’s third season is already shaping up to rival years past.

Celebrating their 50th anniversary, the surviving original members of The Beach Boys are hitting the road for a tour that will make its way to more than 40 cities.

Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston and David Marks — who have not toured together in 20 years — will perform at the Raleigh Amphitheater April 29. Tickets start at $29.50 and go on sale Feb. 25 at 10 a.m.

In addition to celebrating 50 incredible years, The Beach Boys plan to release a new studio album as well as a commemorative 50th Anniversary catalog.

Of course it should be noted that the band finally released their long-delayed and widely bootlegged follow-up to Pet Sounds, the Smile sessions. The album saw The Beach Boys pushing their famous harmonizations to a point that blurred the line between vocals and instrumentation — often resembling scat singing.

In 2008, Legacy Recording released a 30th anniversary, two-disc edition of Pacific Ocean Blue, the only solo album from former Beach Boy Dennis Wilson, who drowned in 1983.
