Beach Boys To Play A Summer Concert In San Diego’s New The Shell Amphitheatre

It’s Going To Be ‘Fun, Fun, Fun’ At This Embarcadero Venue

There will be a lot of “Fun Fun Fun” happening in San Diego’s newest concert venue, The Shell Amphitheatre, when the Beach Boys come to the sunny city.

The legendary “Good Vibrations” band – or the 2020 version of them anyway – will play on July 13, the first non-symphony performance of this venue, which is set to open three days earlier with a performance by the San Diego Symphony.

The permanent facility, with a capacity of 10,000, is located on Embarcadero South, sitting between San Diego Bay and the Marriott Marina. It seems to be the perfect place to see a legendary band that sings about the Southern California lifestyle.

The Beach Boys played here last October at Humphries By The Bay. But Don’t Worry Baby, for it’s hard to get too much of the Beach Boys in San Diego.

Yet this is not the only non-symphony concert taking place at the Shell. Here’s the non-symphony concerts and dates:
• July 13 – The Beach Boys
• July 28 – Gladys Knight With Josh Stone
• Aug. 1 – Smokey Robinson
• Aug. 13 – Brian Newman
• Sept. 10 – Bobby McFerrin
• Sept. 12 – Crowded House
• Sept. 28 – Aida Cuevas with Mariachi Juvenil Tecalitlan and Mariachi Los Camperos
• Oct. 1 – Pat Metheny Side-Eye featuirng James Francies and Marcus Gilmore.

All concerts start at 7:30 p.m. Gates will open at 5:30.

Singles tickets go on sale May 17 with prices ranging from $20-200. There are also packages for Fridays and Saturdays and three to four concerts.

Tickets are available by calling the symphony box office at (619) 235-0804 or on-line at: sandiegoshell.com.
