DENVER — Tears for Fears has announced a new tour across the United States in support of its first new album in 17 years.

The English pop band will kick off a 2022 U.S. trek May 20 in Ohio before wrapping June 25 in New York.

Garbage will open all the concerts on "The Tipping Point World Tour 2022."

Tears for Fears will play a concert at Denver's Levitt Pavilion on Sunday, May 29.

General ticket sales begin Friday, Nov. 19 at 10 a.m. online here. Citi cardmembers have early ticket access through Thursday, Nov. 18 at 10 p.m. at Ticketmaster.com.

"We couldn’t be more excited to start playing concerts again," said Tears for Fears' Curt Smith. "We’ve missed seeing our friends on the road around the world and the energy of performing live."

Known for the 80s hits "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" and "Shout," the band last toured in the United States in 2018.  Tears for Fears will release "The Tipping Point" — their first LP since 2004 — on Feb. 25, 2022.
