The Beach Boys may be headed to Washington D.C. in January. The classic rock band confirmed reports that they had been invited to play at President-elect Trump’s January inauguration.
The band’s management said in a statement to Billboard “The Beach Boys have been asked to perform as part of the inauguration festivities. But no decision has been made at this point as to how or whether they will participate. We will let you know as soon as a decision is final,” the statement released by the band said.”
The Beach Boys have performed in the past at events relating to Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton.
Ok, but probably best to leave “California Dreaming” off the set list. #Trump #Inauguration2017 https://t.co/jlrmDdb7mo

People who will be unable to cope if the Beach Boys play for Trump took to twitter in protest:
Mike Love’s Beach Boys are #NotMyBeachBoys https://t.co/iJlzyztrkK

If this happens I will delete all Beach Boys tracks from my iPod and destroy my BB CDs https://t.co/nlOfwwhInB #beachboys
