It has been an exciting time for Tears For Fears fans nationwide. Shows that were previously slated to perform in 2022 have recently been rescheduled for September 14. The shows, at Pryzm in Kingston, were postponed following the death of the UK’s Queen Elizabeth II, but they will now go ahead on Thursday, September 14 this year.
Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith took to Twitter to announce the news. “London! Our previously scheduled performances at Pryzm, in Kingston have been rescheduled for Thursday 14th September at 6:30 & 8:30PM,” they wrote. “We thank you for your patience as we found a new date and we’re ecstatic to be returning for these shows. Ticketholders will receive emails with more details.”
Also in June, it was announced that Tears For Fears – along with Jessie Ware and the aforementioned Soft Cell – will also be among the acts performing at this year’s BBC Radio 2 In The Park.
The two-day festival will visit Leicester’s Victoria Park this September, bringing with it a stellar line-up featuring numerous legendary artists.

Advertised $199 (cheapest) GA ticket is BOGUS af, because with all the bs fees and taxes it actually costs $342, so F that I’m not going. I can’t imagine how much they are piling on to the more expensive GA+ and VIP tickets. This mob are worse than Ticketmaster who are already as low as a snake’s belly.
