Tears for Fears head to Artpark in June

Tears for Fears will try to rule Artpark once again.
A year after the English duo was forced to cancel its 2016 summer tour because of family illness, Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith have wedged in a June 14 Artpark date. It will be a stand-alone show while the band is on tour with Hall & Oates this summer.
It makes up for a July 19 show that was cancelled at the Lewiston, New York venue last summer. Lynyrd Skynyrd was booked as the replacement.
The Shout and Everybody Wants to Rule the World chart toppers had a bitter parting in the early ‘90s before reforming in 2000, touring extensively since.
