In recent years, the founding Beach Boy toured mainly theatres and performing arts centers, venues with the kind of acoustics that accentuate the complex vocal and instrumental pieces Wilson wrote for Pet Sounds and last year’s SMiLE.

This time around, he’s throwing a few more sheds into the mix.

After hitting such European festivals as Glasto and Roskilde, Wilson returns to the States August 8th with a stop at Bank of America Pavilion in Boston.

He’ll swing through some other major East Coast sheds as well, including Wolf Trap in Vienna, Va.; the P.N.C. Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, N.J.; and Tommy Hilfiger at Jones Beach Theatre in New York.

He’ll play some indoor dates as well, including the Pabst Theatre in Milwaukee; Paramount Theatre in Seattle and Arlene Schnitzer Hall in Portland, Ore.

Wilson will wrap things up with a swing down the West Coat with stops September 3rd at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, Calif., and a tour finale at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles the next day.

As with last year’s outing, the centerpiece of the show will be a performance of SMiLE in its entirety. The album, released in September after almost 40 years in the making, brought Wilson his first career Grammy Award last month for “Mrs. O’Leary’s Cow.”
