Mike Love, Brian Wilson, and Al Jardine haven't performed together since The Beach Boys' 50th anniversary tour in 2012, but it looks like a 60th anniversary tour to celebrate the group's formation is on the table.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Love detailed the possibility of hitting the road as a unit for the first time in almost a decade. 

As many fans know, if you want to see the surviving members of The Beach Boys, you'd usually have to go to separate tours.

While he didn't confirm if the tour is in the works, Love definitely didn't outright deny it either.

“I’m not against anything like that,” Love said. “Anything that’s creative and done for positive reasons is good with me. We will continue thinking about stuff like that and see what we can do.” 

Jardine also hinted at a reunion in March telling Chicago Concert Reviews, “Oh, it will happen. We’ll probably do about 20 or 30 [shows] together next year.” Well... wouldn't it be nice.

To that, Love told RS, “He and I have spoken, but not about that specifically. Al’s a really good singer, but he’s been traveling and performing with Brian Wilson, [and] Brian has some serious health issues. We are in a very fortunate and blessed position to be able to do music for a lifetime.”

Wilson has not commented on the rumors of a tour and his manager told the publication, “No one has spoken to Brian about a 60th Anniversary tour.”
