Brian Wilson to Appear at London's Roayal Festival Hall Performing His Lost Masterpiece "SMiLE" Live for the First Time2004 Concert Tour To Include Performances in the U.K. And Europe
Los Angeles, CA -- Brian Wilson, co-founder of the Beach Boys, will return to London’s Royal Festival Hall in February 2004. For the first time in his 40-year career, Wilson will perform his mythical unreleased masterpiece, "SMiLE." In addition, the concert will include classic Beach Boys and Brian Wilson favourites as well as selections from his new solo album (details forthcoming).
The concert tour announcement comes on the heels of the 2003 Ivor Novello Awards at which Brian was presented with the Special International Award. Following the Awards ceremony Brian was honoured at a reception hosted by his publishers Rondor Music, celebrating his achievements on the occasion of the Beach Boys’ 40th Anniversary.
In 2002, Brian Wilson performed sold out concerts to stellar reviews at Festival Hall in January and June. The four January 2002 concerts sold out immediately and when Wilson returned to London later that year to perform at the Queen’s Jubilee Concert, he sold out another two nights. Among those who attended Brian’s Festival Hall performances were Eric Clapton, Roger Daltrey, Elvis Costello, Richard Ashcroft, and others. The gigs were cited as the concerts of the year by most UK critics. Brian Wilson and the Royal Festival Hall were honoured with the prestigious 'Live Event of the Year Award' by Time Out Magazine."
"Blame Brian Wilson. Eleven months to go and we already know the gig of the year." - TIME OUT 6 February 2002
"…there could only be one Gig Of The Year. No one knew what to expect from former Beach Boy Brian Wilson’s first-ever dates in Britain, but to see this icon…as spectacularly as any of those other sixties heroes here and alive and in the flesh was astounding." - THE EXPRESS
"Best Gig: Brian Wilson, Royal Festival Hall, London, January 27. The greatest songs in the history of pop music, exquisitely performed before an emotional, involved audience. What else do you want from a gig?" - THE GUARDIAN
