Tears for Fears released their first official live album, Songs For A Nervous Planet, on 25 October 2026. The set combines concert recordings with four new studio tracks and extends the duo’s catalogue into a full live release.
Songs For A Nervous Planet joins live recordings and new songs
The album opens with four previously unreleased studio recordings before moving into live performances. That structure connects fresh material with a concert document rather than presenting a conventional new studio album. Eirewave confirms the 25 October 2026 release through Concord Music in its album release details.
The Concord release page identifies FirstBank Amphitheater at Graystone Quarry in Franklin, Tennessee as the recording venue. Concord describes the project as the first official live album from the group and places four new studio songs at its front. The accompanying cinema film is also part of the wider release package, with the same live performance at its centre.
Tears for Fears bring Bath pop-rock into a live release
The duo’s identity is rooted in Bath, England, where Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith formed Tears for Fears. The Official Charts biography describes the pair as an English pop rock band, while the release page presents them as a continuing duo. That background gives the new record a direct bridge between the band’s pop-rock vocabulary and its live setting.
Orzabal and Smith remain the named creative centre of the project, while a touring band supplies the larger performance frame described by Concord. The four new pieces are Say Goodbye To Mum And Dad, Emily Said, Astronaut and The Girl That I Call Home. The result brings several eras of the catalogue into one release without separating the new songs from the live material.
