Why see Tears for Fears?

the tipping point part ii

The phenomenal 80s icons Tears for Fears will be picking up where they left off last year by going on The Tipping Point Tour Part II this summer! They will be accompanied by the Californian rock band Cold War Kids on all dates. Kicking off in Atlantic City before wrapping up in Los Angeles, they'll be bringing all your favorite hits from the album, alongside the synth-pop perfection of hits like 'Shout','Mad World,' and 'Everybody Wants to Rule The World'.

Famous sons of the picturesque city of Bath, England, Tears for Fears were formed in 1981 and are made up of Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith. Riding the 80s electronic explosion, they gained global recognition in 1985, with second LP, Songs From The Big Chair. Now synonymous with the new wave, the duo's synthesizer-laden pop combined with vulnerable honest lyrics, has proven not only highly influential but still remains as transporting as ever.

Incredible Concert

We’ grew up with Tears for Fears’ music and we’ve seen them in concert before. However, this last concert at Hollywood Bowl was historic, truly one of the best concerts ever. We took our two teenage daughters and sung our hearts out along with Roland and Kurt whose voices were still so clear and so powerful. The the bowl was packed and 20,000 stood on their feet to sing Shout! It was an incredible concert! ... Read more

Transcendent

Tears for Fears delivered a powerful, brilliant performance worthy of Wembley stadium last night in the rain and thunder. Playing tracks for their new album along with classics, they moved between keeping it light and upbeat to powerhouse arena pop. Armed with the strength of new classics like My Demons and Long Long Time and with their timeless hits, they had enough material for two shoes. One standout moment, supported by Corina Round on vocals, Badman’s song was impossibly entertaining. If you were considering this show, I strongly suggest it. If you are considering the new album, they suggest you buy it, instead streaming lol. Don’t miss this show ... Read more

Elegant evening of music

Tears for Fears put on an incredible show that brought a nice sampling of songs through their career. The only album not represented was 1995's Raoul and the Kings of Spain. The musicianship was spot on and the voices sounded just as fresh as the day the respective album was recorded. Corina Round provided a very suitable and accomplished substitute for Oleta Adams on "Woman in Chains" and "Bad Man's Song." She also provided backing vocals throughout the evening - she has an incredible voice. What more could us refugees of 1980s music want? A beautiful evening under a marine layer and songs from our life's soundtrack. Garbage opened the show and Shirley Manson and the band were fantastic. All in all, it was money well spent and seeing T4F for the first time, it crossed off a bucket list item. On a side note, the venue could do a much better job of keeping counterfeit merchandise from being sold in the parking lot. Otherwise, it was a great night. ... Read more
