The Pacific Amphitheatre is the perfect place to catch a band that maybe hasn't had a big hit in the last few decades or so, but whose greatest songs still have a happy place on your iPod. This week, '80s English pop faves Tears for Fears duo Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith make an appearance at the OC Fair stage, proving that, through breakups and makeups, their sound is as golden and shiny as ever. So come reminisce and hear songs like “Break It Down Again” and “Sowing the Seeds of Love,” as well as some of the band's newer material from the fittingly-titled album Everybody Loves a Happy Ending.
