Brian Wilson - the legendary founding member of The Beach Boys – has announced a new Greatest Hits tour.

The musician will play songs and hits from across his career, including choice highlights from the band that made him famous.

The UK dates take place in May and June 2020, and will see Wilson calling into Brighton, London, Manchester and many more before rounding things up in Cambridge.

But it’s his date at Gateshead’s The Sage on 6 June that obviously has us the most excited. Wilson will be joined on tour by his former band mates Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin.
