Tears for Fears released their first official live album, Songs For A Nervous Planet, on 25 October 2026. The Concord Music release combines concert recordings from the Tipping Point Tour with four new studio tracks.
Songs For A Nervous Planet gives Tears for Fears their first live album
Concord Music presents the release as a double set built from live performances and new studio material. It contains four new songs: Say Goodbye To Mum And Dad, Emily Said, Astronaut and The Girl That I Call Home. The 25 October 2026 release details identify Concord Music and the album’s first official live status. Concord Records lists the formats.
On 25 October 2026, the tracklist moved from the new studio pieces into live versions of songs including Shout, Mad World and Head Over Heels. That structure makes the album both a new release and a document of the band’s concert repertoire. The fresh material sits alongside the live programme rather than being separated from it. The arrangement keeps the record tied to the Tipping Point Tour.
Bath new wave roots shape the Tears for Fears catalogue
Tears for Fears are the duo of Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, who formed the band in Bath. Their sound connects new wave and pop rock with a catalogue that includes The Hurting, Songs from the Big Chair and The Seeds of Love. Those records established the duo’s place in British pop, while the live album adds a missing format to that body of work. The Official Charts biography also places the duo’s formation in Bath and identifies their pop-rock profile.
The 25 October 2026 release has two clear dimensions: a document of concert performance and a set of fresh studio songs. Four previously unreleased tracks keep the focus on the duo’s present writing. The remaining material draws on songs associated with the group’s established catalogue. Together, the elements join a live format with the songwriting identity that defines Tears for Fears as a British pop act.
