Brian Wilson to perform ‘Pet Sounds’ at the Van Wezel

Brian Wilson will stop in Sarasota later this year, to perform the Beach Boys’ iconic “Pet Sounds” near the end of an international tour for the record’s 50th anniversary, according to the songwriter’s website.

Wilson will play the album in its entirety, along with other hits and fan favorites, at Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall Sept. 11. Tickets for the performance go on sale Feb. 19, at VanWezel.org.

“It’s really been a trip to sit here and think about releasing Pet Sounds 50 years ago,” said Wilson in a Feb. 3 press release. “I love performing this album with my band and look forward to playing it for fans all across the world.”
