Brian Wilson has announced plans to take the iconic Beach Boys album Pet Sounds on tour for its 50th anniversary.

The 2016 tour marks the first time Pet Sounds has been performed in its entirety on stage in 17 years.

"I want to tour," Wilson tells Billboard. "We didn't play it on stage," he adds, describing the record as, "an album that started out with "Wouldn't It Be Nice" and just went from there."

The tour begins March 26 at the Auckland (New Zealand) Civic Center.

After a half-dozen dates in Australia, New Zealand and Japan, Wilson will play theaters, civic centers, festivals and performing arts centers in North America, the U.K./Europe, Spain and Israel, through the fall, with another leg being put together for Q1 next year due to demand.
Pet Sounds was originally released in May of 1966.
