Yes, they are. Their 50th anniversary tour starts in the US in April, and they will be touring there for the spring and a lot of the summer. The last US show is at Lake Tahoe on 15 July. After that they will spend the rest of July and August touring major cities of Italy, Sweden, Norway, Germany and the UK. You can see a full list of dates and venues here.

There will also be a new album released this year. There has been a lot of excitement about the new tour and album, as the Beach Boys haven't played together since 1998, and there were a lot of problems in the band for a long time before that. The death of Carl Wilson early in 1998 effectively brought the Beach Boys to an end, and it was a surprise to many people when the band announced it was reforming.
