Tears For Fears will return to the concert stage this summer for a run of North American dates after they were forced to cancel much of their 2022 trek.

‘The Tipping Point Tour: Part 2’ features a series of shows across the US and Canada, 12 months after their previous run was cut short when singer Curt Smith fractured four of his ribs.

Last year, Tears For Fears returned to the Top 10 of the UK charts with ‘The Tipping Point’ – their first new album in 17 years – with Curt telling RETROPOP the project was a challenge for him and Roland Orzabal to navigate.

“We got to the point a few years ago where I certainly wasn’t happy with what we were doing,” he admitted. “Myself and Roland sat down and I said, ‘Look, if this is what you want to do, then you go ahead and do it, but it’s not for me.’ That ended and we didn’t know what we were going to do. It was sort of up in the air.”

He continued: “Roland said, ‘Look, let’s sit down and talk about this. What do you feel?’ And I said, ‘I think we have some good songs. But I just think that the recordings really aren’t right. They don’t sound like Tears for Fears – they sound like us trying to be someone else’.

“I think he’d come to the same realisation, having taken time away from it… So we sat down and plotted a path forward of how we could finish an album that we were both happy with.”

In a review of the album, RETROPOP said ‘The Tipping Point’ “feeds into the history of the band, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, referencing the pair’s journey to create the record along with key musical moments from their storied career.”

The Tipping Point’ is out now.
