This year, Independence Day will be fun, fun, fun ’til her daddy takes the T-Bird away.
From July 2-4, classic rock legends The Beach Boys will perform back-to-back-to-back concerts with John Stamos, the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and fireworks at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl for their July 4 Spectacular.
Sounds like quite the festive way to ring in the summer holiday.
At the trio of shows, fans can expect timeless hits like “Good Vibrations,” “Surfin’ USA,” “I Get Around,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” and “Kokomo” from the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers.
And if you want to hear all of the above and more live from Mike Love, Bruce Johnston and the Boys, you can still scoop up last-minute seats.
They won’t cost you an arm and a leg either.
At the time of publication, we found seats going for as low as $50 before fees on Vivid Seats.
