Tears For Fears To Play Concert In Hove - Alison Moyet Will Support

Legendary 80s band Tears for Fears will be playing at The 1st Central County Ground in Hove on July 22nd of next year.

They'll be touring their first album release in nearly 20 years, Tipping Point, which is due for release on February 25th, 2022.

Alison Moyet will be joining the band for the show, which is part of the UK leg of The Tipping Point World Tour.

Fans who sign up to the Sussex Cricket mailing list before 11.59pm on Wednesday 17th Novermber will be sent a link for pre-sale access to tickets for The 1st Central County Ground show from 9am on Thursday 18th November 2021.

Tickets go on general sale at 9am on Friday 19th November 2021.

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 Friday 25th February 2022 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. In September, the band were honoured with the Outstanding Song Collection Award at the 2021 Ivor Novello Awards.

When asked 'why make The Tipping Point now?', Roland Orzabal said:

“Before everything went so right with this album, everything first had to go wrong, it took years, but something happens when we put our heads together. We’ve got this balance, this push-me-pull-you thing – and it works really well.”

Curt Smith agreed:

“If that balance doesn’t work on a Tears For Fears album, the whole thing just doesn’t work. To put it in simple terms, a Tears For Fears record and what people perceive to be the sound of Tears For Fears – is the stuff we can both agree on.”
 

Tears For Fears were one of the most iconic bands of the ‘80s, selling over 30 million albums worldwide releasing such classic singles as “Shout,” “Everybody Wants To Rule The World,” “Mad World,” “Sowing The Seeds Of Love,” and “Woman In Chains”
