Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith have announced a live date in Vicar St. on April 24.

The gig will follow the February release of a new album, the aptly titled, Everybody Loves A Happy Ending.

Evidence of The Tears For Fears enigma resurfaced last year when Gary Jules' version of 'Mad World', from the Donnie Darko soundtrack, became a surprise Christmas No.1 in the UK.

Tickets are priced €44 and are available from Ticketmaster and the usual outlets nationwide.
