STATEMENT – BEACH BOYS
Due to ongoing speculation surrounding the Saturday evening performance of The Beach Boys, the management team of the Armor All Gold Coast 600, which includes the 600 Sounds presented by Hard Rock musical festival, would like to unequivocally state that the performance by the Beach Boys on Saturday evening was a live performance.

Suggestions that The Beach Boys were lip syncing are false. A slight delay between the vision being played on the big screens at the 600 Sounds presented by Hard Rock precinct and what was happening on stage did occur, as sometimes happens with live performances, and this may have contributed to the confusion felt by some event-goers.

“The Armor All Gold Coast 600 event was a fantastic show to be a part of from start to finish. Everything from the sound system to the staging was all first rate and top-notch. Throughout the duration of my stay in Australia I heard nothing but positive feedback on our show and the race,” said Mike Love, lead singer of the Beach Boys.

“We pride ourselves on providing a great live show to our millions of fans around the world and spent time that day sound checking our vocals to ensure a great live mix, in our almost 50 years of performing The Beach Boys have never lip-synched and we are not about to start!”

V8 Supercars Australia said the speculation was erroneous and totally false, and while there may have been a small number of patrons leaving the site due to the confusion, this number would have been a very small percentage in comparison to the approximately 20,000 strong crowd at the venue for the concert on the night.

“For many years the Beach Boys have been one of the world’s best live acts and they still are,” V8 Supercars Australia Chairman Tony Cochrane said.

“I was side stage for four songs just metres from the band and the monitor desk and there is no way it was not live. It’s a great shame some have insulted such an iconic band for the sake of a headline and some extra cheap points.

“We were over the moon with the performance of Mike and the boys which was absolutely world class. They headlined what was an amazing 16 acts across three nights which helped put the Armor All Gold Coast 600 well and truly back where it belongs as one of this country’s best events.

“I personally congratulate Mike and the Beach Boys on a brilliant performance.”
