The California icons will make their Dubai debut at Coca-Cola Arena on Thursday, 11 June 2026.
The UAE’s live music calendar is already stacked for 2026, but this one comes with serious heritage. The Beach Boys will perform in Dubai for the first time, bringing their sun-soaked harmonies to Coca-Cola Arena on Thursday, 11 June 2026.
Billed as The Beach Boys: 60 Years of Pet Sounds Tour, the Dubai show doubles as a celebration of one of pop music’s most influential albums, alongside the wider anniversary milestones the band is marking across 2026. Expect a set built for sing-alongs, with the kind of instantly recognisable melodies that have soundtracked beach parties, road trips and coming-of-age films for decades.
Formed in Hawthorne, California, in the early 1960s, The Beach Boys became synonymous with the breezy escapism of the West Coast. The original line-up included brothers Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine, and they quickly moved from local surf scenes to global charts. It all began when Love penned the lyrics to their first hit, “Surfin’” (1961), which helped define the carefree spirit of a new era of American pop.
From there, the catalogue reads like a greatest-hits playlist for the 1960s and beyond: “Surfin’ USA,” “Surfer Girl,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “I Get Around,” “California Girls,” “Help Me Rhonda,” “Barbara Ann,” “Good Vibrations,” “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “Rock and Roll Music” and “Kokomo” are all referenced as part of the Dubai show’s feel-good promise.
The band’s legacy is backed by the numbers too: over 100 million records sold worldwide, more than 33 RIAA Platinum and Gold awards, and a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They also received the Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001.
Tickets to see the Beach Boys live in Dubai are on sale now, with Bronze seats from AED 199, rising through Silver, Gold, and Platinum categories, plus floor options and hospitality experiences.
