Mike Love's The Beach Boys are doing U.S. and select international dates this summer. On July 5, The Beach Boys will play Jones Beach, with special appearances from Al Jardine and David Marks.

In addition, Jeffrey Foskett has joined Love's The Beach Boys as a permanent member of the group's touring band after a long stint with Brian Wilson. He replaces Christian Love, who is departing the band to pursue a solo career after eight years of touring.

"Year after year it's been a great source of inspiration to see the happiness our music has brought to multiple generations of Beach Boy fans in so many parts of the world," said Love, lead singer and co-founder of The Beach Boys.

"This summer I'm particularly excited for the Jones Beach show, which is such a terrific, iconic venue. It will be very special to share the stage with some old friends and bandmates, Al Jardine and David Marks. Bruce and I are really happy to have Jeffrey Foskett rejoin the band - he's a great vocalist and musician and has a long history with The Beach Boys. It's been awesome to have my son my Christian performing with us for much of the past decade. I'm so proud of him and I wish him well in his work as a solo artist. As talented as he is, I hope he'll still want to join his Dad on stage every once and a while."

Foskett has had a long music career, both as a solo artist and playing alongside some of music's greatest, including Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Ringo Starr. Since his first concert with The Beach Boys in 1981, Foskett has maintained a long relationship with the band, most recently working with co-founder Wilson, on several projects including Smile, which garnered a Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental Performance. Foskett's wide vocal range can be heard on The Beach Boys' 2012 album, That's Why God Made the Radio, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 album chart.

The Beach Boys touring band features Love, Bruce Johnston, musical director Scott Totten, guitarist Foskett, keyboardist Tim Bonhomme, bass player Randell Kirsch and drummer John Cowsill.

At select venues, The Beach Boys will be offering three distinct VIP packages for fans to enjoy exclusive backstage access, front row seats, pictures and Q&A's with the band, re-mastered Beach Boys songs, autographed USB laminate loaded music and other special memorabilia. For more information, fans can visit www.MikeLove.com/VIP, beginning May 25.
