## Key points

- Epcot replaced the Beach Boys with a John Stamos-led act.
- Mike Love is focusing on rehabilitation.
- A Bristol show remains listed for November 13.

## Summary

Epcot has replaced the Beach Boys’ two November shows with an act billed as “John Stamos and the California Sound”. The change follows recent performances in which frontman Mike Love appeared frail, and leaves the group’s remaining touring plans uncertain.

The Beach Boys’ November 13 concert in Bristol is still listed, as is a May 2027 show in Alberta, where tickets remain on sale. Love has said he is focusing on rehabilitation, but his illness has not been made public; it is unconfirmed whether the California Sound is the band’s touring group without him. Al Jardine continues to tour with the Pet Sounds Band and has said he would consider performing under a Beach Boys name if circumstances required.
