Get ready, Vegas! This Halloween weekend, the legendary British pop-rock icons Tears For Fears are bringing their epic sound and unforgettable hits to the Strip for an exclusive three-night residency at the BleauLive Theater inside the brand-new Fontainebleau Las Vegas. Mark your calendars for October 30, November 1, and November 2, 2024, as Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith take you on a musical journey with Songs for a Nervous Planet — a one-of-a-kind concert experience that promises to be nothing short of spectacular.
After the massive success of The Tipping Point World Tour and its sequel The Tipping Point Tour Part II, which saw them grace the stages of iconic venues like Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl, Tears For Fears is back and ready to captivate fans with a mix of classic hits and some fresh surprises. It’s their first studio album in seventeen years, The Tipping Point, that helped remind the world why these ‘80s legends remain so beloved. Now, they’re bringing that magic to Las Vegas for an exclusive run of shows that will be a must-see for fans of all generations.
Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith shared their excitement, stating, “It’s been a while since we’ve been on the road, and we’re very eager to share this live show experience with everyone. You can expect to hear tracks from The Tipping Point as well as fan favorites. Be sure to listen closely though, as there may be something new sprinkled in there as well.”
For three magical nights, Tears For Fears will transform the BleauLive Theater into a nostalgic wonderland, bringing back all the emotions of the ‘80s while injecting fresh energy from their latest album. Fans can expect to hear iconic songs like “Shout,” “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” “Mad World,” and “Head Over Heels,” along with newer gems from The Tipping Point like “No Small Thing” and “Rivers of Mercy.” And given that this is a Halloween weekend event, don’t be surprised if the duo gets into the spooky spirit alongside their fans — costumes, anyone?
An Inimitable Legacy That Spans Generations Since forming in 1981, Tears For Fears has sold over 30 million albums worldwide and has become a cornerstone of pop and rock music, influencing countless artists across generations. From Kanye West and The Weeknd to Lorde and Drake, their music has been sampled, covered, and reimagined, proving that their legacy is as strong today as it was when they first burst onto the scene. The duo’s songs have become anthems, and their influence stretches far beyond their original ’80s roots, finding a home in blockbuster films, TV shows, and the playlists of new generations.
Tears For Fears’ music has an unparalleled ability to resonate deeply, blending pop sensibilities with introspective lyrics and explosive guitar work. Their songs have been featured in cult classics like Donnie Darko and The Hunger Games, while their influence continues to be felt across today’s pop culture landscape. Their accolades include the prestigious “Outstanding Song Collection Award” at the Ivor Novello Awards in 2021, further cementing their status as musical pioneers.
