Tears For Fears were one of the most iconic bands of the ‘80s, selling over 30 million albums worldwide with singles such as “Shout,” “Everybody Wants To Rule The World,” “Mad World,” “Sowing The Seeds Of Love,” and “Woman In Chains” acknowledged as classics.
Roland Orzabal (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Curt Smith (vocals, bass, keyboards) formed the band in 1981.
With 30 million albums sold worldwide, performing to countless sold-out audiences, and winning various awards, the band represent an inimitable intersection of pop palatability, clever and cognisant lyricism, guitar bombast, and new wave innovation.
The Tipping Point is the bold, beautiful and powerful sound of Tears For Fears finding themselves together, once again.
Providing support for Tears For Fears on their UK tour will be Alison Moyet, formerly of Yazoo, and an artist with five UK Top 10 singles.
Speaking about going back out on the road Curt Smith said: “We couldn’t be more excited to start playing concerts again. We’ve missed seeing our friends on the road around the world and the energy of performing live.”
Roland Orzabal shared: “The Tipping Point has been a long time in the making and we are looking forward to playing our favourites from the new album as well as our classics from throughout the years.”
Arriving on the 25 February, The Tipping Point is the band’s first album since their reunion album Everybody Loves A Happy Ending in 2004.
Since then, the band have toured extensively, including a sold-out UK arena tour and in 2017 released Rule The World, a best-of compilation that returned the band to upper reaches of the album charts once more.
