In a thrilling announcement, iconic British duo Tears for Fears has revealed a brand-new live album, accompanied by a concert film, set to release on October 25. The live album, titled Songs for a Nervous Planet, will feature 18 live tracks, plus four additional studio recordings.

Preorders are underway, and fans can already get their hands on the album. The complete track listing and a new song, "The Girl That I Call Home," are available for streaming below.

The live album will showcase some of Tears for Fears’ most beloved hits, including "Shout," "Head Over Heels," and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." These performances were captured during the duo’s recent tour, which began in May 2022 and was extended with the Tipping Point Tour Part II in April 2023.

The Tipping Point, Tears for Fears’ first album of original material since 2004’s Everybody Loves a Happy Ending, has been a huge success, reaching the Top 10 on the Billboard charts. The bonus tracks on Songs for a Nervous Planet will include "Say Goodbye to Mum and Dad," "Emily Said," and "Astronaut."

There’s Also a New Tears for Fears Concert Film

Songs for a Nervous Planet will be paired with a concert film, Tears for Fears Live: A Tipping Point Film, which was recorded in the summer of 2023 at FirstBank Amphitheater at Graystone Quarry in Franklin, Tennessee, during their sold-out Tipping Point Tour Part II. The film premieres in over 1,100 cinemas on October 24 and will play again on October 26. Tickets go on sale on September 19.

This is Tears for Fears’ third concert release, following Live at Massey Hall Toronto, Canada (a classic-era 1985 recording released in 2021) and 2006’s Secret World: Live in Paris (a two-disc album from their 2005 stop at Parc des Princes Stadium in Paris, France).
