Hall And Oates Join Forces With Tears For Fears

Daryl Hall & John Oates are hitting the road with Tears For Fears for a North American co-bill that will run for almost two months. Opening on the trek will be the acoustic stylings of Allen Stone.

Things jump off in Tulsa, Okla., on May 4 and wrap up in Los Angeles’ Staples Center on July 28. The tour moves through each region of the U.S. and mostly arenas and amphitheatres.

Hall and Oates have an extensive catalog, but haven’t released much original material since a 2006 Christmas album. That can only mean one thing: Get ready to hear the hits.

Tears For Fears also hasn’t released original material in more than a decade, so fans can likewise expect to hear the old stuff.

“I am very excited to be touring with Tears for Fears. Their music has a timeless quality that complements what we do. I think everyone is going to love this show!” Daryl Hall said.
