Beach Boys return to town on Oct. 13

Jul. 13—Prepare for "Good Vibrations" when The Beach Boys return to Bakersfield this fall.

The legendary California band will play Dignity Health Amphitheatre at the Park at River Walk on Oct. 13.

The band has sold over 100 million records worldwide and received more than 33 RIAA Platinum and Gold record awards. With more than five decades of touring under their belts, The Beach Boys have performed more concerts than any major rock band in history.
