Tears For Fears will be headlining Music Showcase Friday at York Racecourse on the evening of Friday, 26th July as a part of their ‘Rule The World’ 2019 tour.
Beyond selling 30 million albums worldwide, performing to countless sold out audiences, and winning various awards, the DNA of Tears For Fears — Roland Orzabal [vocals, guitar, keyboards] and Curt Smith [vocals, bass, keyboards] — remains embedded within three generations of artists. Quietly casting a shadow over rock, hip-hop, electronic dance music, indie, and beyond, their music has been sampled by Kanye West, The Weeknd, David Guetta, Drake, and more, while getting covered by Lorde, Adam Lambert, Ally Brooke Hernandez, Gary Jules, and Disturbed, to name a few. Meanwhile, classic songs figure prominently everywhere from The Wire and Donnie Darko to Straight Outta Compton and Mr. Robot.
On the racecourse itself, The European Breeders Fund Lyric Stakes will be the £50,000 Listed contest centerpiece of a six race card that will precede the concert.
It promises to be a fun filled summer for racing and music fans with Busted previously announced for Summer Music Saturday on 29th June and James Arthur set to perform just 24 hours after Tears For Fears on Saturday 27th July.
James Brennan, Head of Marketing and Sponsorship said:
“To be on a sell-out tour, more than thirty years after your first album went Gold, has to be close to ruling the world; July 26th promises to be a memorable evening with Tears For Fears.”
The tickets for Tears For Fears and racing officially go on sale at 9am on Monday 4th March at www.yorkracecourse.co.uk or calling 01904 620911.
