2025
They’re baaaaaaack! Tears for Fears were welcomed back to Fontainebleau in February 2025 and will be there again in September and October. It’s a dream for several who simply want to enjoy a series of Tears for Fears concerts in a well appointed venue with all the deluxe features. Dream come true! Enjoy! Get your tickets early from Live Nation (see link on the tearsforfears.com site). Shows sold out in 2024.
2024
Tears for Fears, whether by chance or they actually obliged several fans who were shamelessly begging for it, completed a residency in Las Vegas. 30 October, 1 & 2 November, they sold out shows at Fontainbleau. All details from our fan perspective are logged in the quarterly updates. It was magnificent to say the least. Some of the best shows yet, rivaling even the unmatched experience at the Hollywood Bowl. Just gets better and better…overwhelmingly incredible performances!


2023
As they promised, Tears for Fears are continuing with the North America tour – we didn’t know it would be this summer. There was talk of planning but we thought it would be for the UK given they have some days to revisit there. So this is a bit of a surprise. The band will be having concerts in many cities near the ones they were in last year. Roland mentioned in 2021 that Tears for Fears would be going to the Hollywood Bowl. Well, that has been made good for 2023. Those that bought a membership in 2022 may want to see if there are any rollover perks. We haven’t found any yet. This is clearly part two of more to come so those who are asking about UK and Europe should remain vigilant. Within the first 10 mins of the announcement, over 3000 fans on all platforms combined responded with excitement about another summer filled with Tears for Fears music. We’re in touch with several fans to see what the plans are this time around. Due to the expense of last year’s tour, the travel fan team members have a limited amount of extra tickets so you’ll want to do what you can to make sure you get your own. The sign up link is to get the code for the presale. Remember to buy only from the legitimate sources. Avoid third party sales at all cost if you can. When booking your flights, aim to use the actual airline vs. third party sites (that’s been our best experience – we’ve seen some odd things when people book through other means) and be mindful of the ticket insurance which in today’s world is needed. If someone tells you they “bought a VIP pass on a third party site and are happy with their purchase,” it’s suspect.
Below are links to hotel information and other travel info plus resources. There are videos of the venues so you can get an idea of your sight line and how much walking you’ll be doing as well as what the seats look like. If you are not able to get tickets and arrange travel, do not take that sadness upon yourself. You were given less than 24 hours notice about the presale tickets and at a much later time than the last tour. In 2021, we did get notified well in advance of the 2022 plans and were able to prepare to be at at least 4 shows each. So if you can only go to a few shows this time, do not feel discouraged. Still go! It’s worth it! If the VIP (artist option) sells out and there are spare tickets within the fan circles available, those that we are aware of will be noted on the Tears for Fears Travel Fans and Kooks FB page and we’ll help you get in touch with the seller. We suggest that you do not accept third party offers if they are not from Ticketmaster or Live Nation. Also if you want to pay or accept payment from someone for tickets you may want to set up a Cashapp account or Venmo. If you resell your ticket on Ticketmaster, be sure to check the tax laws around the resale. Same for PayPal exchanges.
We recognise that the band’s music has brought healing to many and if you’re attending a show and need medical assistance or accessible seats contact the venue directly on their website. Feel free to ask us about our experiences with travelling while under medical supervision as well as the tour therapy of 2022.
Supporting band will be Cold War Kids – get to know their fans on Facebook and Twitter
Check out the awesome gift bag for 2023 – this year the bag is cream with the iconic Tears for Fears peacock blue typography. Love that! Also, the merch this year is incredible. Huge thanks to Fan Forum member Kimberly P.
