Tears for Fears release their first official live album, Songs For A Nervous Planet, on 25 October 2026 through Concord Music. The record combines recordings from the Tipping Point Tour with four new studio tracks, making it both a live document and a new addition to the duo’s catalogue.
Songs For A Nervous Planet combines tour recordings and new songs
Eirewave confirms the release on 25 October 2026 as a double set drawn from the Tipping Point Tour. Four studio tracks lead the sequence: Say Goodbye To Mum And Dad, The Girl That I Call Home, Emily Said and Astronaut.
The live portion includes Shout, Head Over Heels, Everybody Wants To Rule The World and Mad World, alongside further songs from the band’s catalogue. Concord’s track listing presents 22 songs in total.
The release arrives as a two-LP set, a deluxe triple-vinyl edition, a CD and a digital album. The combination places newly recorded studio material beside live performances rather than separating the two sides into different projects.
Tears for Fears bring a long-running catalogue to disc
Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal formed Tears for Fears in Bath. Their catalogue includes The Hurting, Songs from the Big Chair, The Seeds of Love, Elemental and The Tipping Point.
That sequence gives Songs For A Nervous Planet a broad frame. The album links the duo’s established songs with four new compositions, while the concert recordings preserve the live setting that shaped the Tipping Point Tour.
Tears for Fears Live extends the October release weekend
The companion concert film, Tears For Fears Live (A Tipping Point Film), presents footage from the FirstBank Amphitheater in Franklin, Tennessee. It premieres in more than 1,100 cinemas worldwide on 24 and 26 October 2026.
The film gives the same body of live material a second form during the album’s release weekend. The two cinema dates surround the 25 October 2026 arrival of Songs For A Nervous Planet.
