Tears for Fears & Garbage at Pine Knob Music Theatre

At its core, Tears for Fears is brought to life by members Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal with their roots in England, when they started recording at a music center when they were 15, then reuniting to form Tears for Fears in 1981, with the name inspired by the "primal scream" theory by psychologist Arthur Janov. The band released 2 singles prior to their breakout hit "Mad World" from their debut album, The Hurting.

"Shout" marked the band's beginning of international fame, reaching #1 in the US, being a hit single in multiple territories. Their next single "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" is their highest-charting UK hit, also reaching #1 in the US and Canada.

Through decades, Tears for Fears' smashers remain crowd-favorites going further with "Head over Heels", "Break It Down Again", "Sowing the Seeds of Love", "Laid So Low", and many more.
