Beach Boys Out at Adams County Bicentennial Finale – New Guests Added!

After months of anticipation and ticket sales the Adams County Bicentennial finale will go on without the Beach Boys who have cancelled. The legendary group has cancelled or postponed several upcoming appearances in addition to the Bicentennial Finale.

The band also within the last 48 hours cancelled a show at the Oregon state fair for Monday Sept 1 and their Sounds of Summer show in Washington for Aug 30 has been postponed until October due to “unforeseen circumstances”. That’s the term the band is using for their sudden backing away from commitments.
