Music legend Brian Wilson has announced a 2016 world tour to celebrate and perform the iconic album, “Pet Sounds,” for a final time in honor of its 50th anniversary.

Wilson returns at 7 p.m. Sept. 25 to the State Theatre Center for the Arts, Easton. Tickets go on sale to the public Feb. 5. Tickets for State Theatre members went on sale Jan. 29. Wilson performed Oct. 23, 2015, at the State Theatre.

“Pet Sounds,” released May 16, 1966, is universally hailed as one of the greatest albums of all time. With more than 70 dates being confirmed, and several previously announced dates selling out in record time, Wilson and his band will be joined by former bandmates Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin when they kick off the tour March 26. Concert stops include dates in Australia, Japan, United Kingdom, Spain, Israel and Portugal followed by a United States tour this summer and fall, concluding Oct. 14. Fans can expect a live performance of “Pet Sounds” in its entirety, as well as top hits and fan favorites spanning his 54-year career with The Beach Boys and as a solo artist.

“It’s really been a trip to sit here and think about releasing ‘Pet Sounds’ 50 years ago,” said Wilson. “I love performing this album with my band and look forward to playing it for fans all across the world.”

Wilson has achieved solo success with 11 of his own albums released to date, including his acclaimed 2004 completion of an album he first began recording in the 1960s, “Brian Wilson Presents … Smile,” which earned Wilson his first Grammy, which was followed by his second Grammy win for producing The Beach Boys’ acclaimed 2011 release, “The Smile Sessions.” With his own band, Wilson has performed major, sold-out tours in recent years, and with The Beach Boys, he celebrated the iconic band’s 50th anniversary in 2012 with a major international tour and acclaimed studio album, “That’s Why God Made The Radio.”

In 2015, Wilson released his latest solo album, “No Pier Pressure” (Capitol), and was the subject of the critically-acclaimed, award-winning biopic, “Love & Mercy” (Roadside Attractions-Lionsgate).

Wilson is a Kennedy Center Honors recipient, a Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, and a United Kingdom Music Hall of Fame inductee. As a member of The Beach Boys, Wilson was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and honored with The Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001.
