Tears for Fears Set 2022 Tour in Support of First New Album in 17 Years

Tears for Fears have mapped out a 2022 U.S. tour in support of their first new album in 17 years, The Tipping Point.

“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,” Tears for Fears’ Curt Smith said in a statement; the band last toured the U.S. in 2018.

The monthlong amphitheater trek kicks off May 20th in Cincinnati, Ohio and circles the nation before concluding June 25th in Wantagh, New York. Garbage will serve as special guest on the U.S. route. Find tickets here.

Roland Orzabal added, “The Tipping Point has been a long time in the making and we are looking forward to playing our favorites from the new album as well as our classics from throughout the years.”

Tears for Fears will release The Tipping Point — their first LP since 2004’s Everybody Loves a Happy Ending — on February 25th, 2022. Smith and Orzabal recently spoke to IndieLand about their upcoming album, as well as their lengthy studio hiatus and numerous false starts in the creation of the album.
