====Copyright extension releases and occasional partial reunions====
Responding to a new European Union copyright law that extended copyright to 70 years for recordings that were published within 50 years after they were made, Capitol began issuing annual 50-year anniversary "copyright extension" releases of Beach Boys recordings, starting with ''[[The Big Beat 1963]]'' (2013).<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/12/arts/music/european-copyright-laws-lead-to-rare-music-releases.html|title=European Copyright Laws Lead to Rare Music Releases|first=Allan|last=Kozinn|work=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=December 12, 2013|date=December 11, 2013|archive-date=December 11, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131211221927/http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/12/arts/music/european-copyright-laws-lead-to-rare-music-releases.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

In July 2018, Wilson, Jardine, Love, Johnston, and Marks reunited for a one-off Q&A session moderated by director [[Rob Reiner]] at the Capitol Records Tower in Los Angeles.

In February 2020, Wilson and Jardine's official social media pages encouraged fans to boycott the band's music after it was announced that Love's Beach Boys would perform at the Safari Club International Convention in [[Reno, Nevada]] on animal rights grounds. The concert proceeded despite online protests, as Love issued a statement that said his group has always supported "freedom of thought and expression as a fundamental tenet of our rights as Americans".<ref>{{Cite web|last=Sodomsky|first=Sam|date=February 3, 2020|url=https://pitchfork.com/news/brian-wilson-opposes-mike-loves-beach-boys-show-at-trophy-hunting-convention/|title=Brian Wilson Opposes Mike Love's Beach Boys Show at Trophy Hunting Convention|website=Pitchfork|access-date=February 3, 2020|archive-date=February 4, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200204202855/https://pitchfork.com/news/brian-wilson-opposes-mike-loves-beach-boys-show-at-trophy-hunting-convention/|url-status=live}}</ref> In October, Love and Johnston's Beach Boys performed at a fundraiser for Donald Trump's presidential re-election campaign; Wilson and Jardine again issued a statement that they had not been informed about this performance and did not support it.<ref>Shaffer, Claire (October 19, 2020).
