Surf pop legends The Beach Boys will headline a brand new event on Bondi Beach this year, aptly titled Beachfest.

It’s a massive coup for the inaugural event, bringing the ‘California Girls’ hitmakers to share some tunes with the Bondi girls (and boys) instead. However, it won’t be The Beach Boys’ first encounter with the Australian shoreline – they played a concert in North Narrabeen back in 1992, years after name-checking Narrabeen in another hit single, ‘Surfin’ USA’.

Joining The Beach Boys on the Beachfest lineup will be The Whitlams, Busby Marou, Kim Churchill and Sahara Beck.

Bondi Beachfest 2015 will take place on Saturday November 14. Tickets go on sale 12pm Friday June 26.
