Tears for Fears have been wowing audiences with their high-energy new wave for over 40 years. Playing to an almost sold-out crowd at Rogers Arena, Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith put on a show that felt like time traveling back to 1985.

Last night’s concert at Rogers Arena in Vancouver was a captivating journey through the realms of melodic nostalgia and high-octane energy. The evening commenced with an exhilarating performance by Cold War Kids, setting the stage for an enchanting musical experience headlined by Tears For Fears.
