The Tipping Point World Tour was a concert tour by English pop rock band Tears for Fears. The tour supported the group's seventh studio album The Tipping Point (2022). The tour began at the Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati on 20 May 2022, and concluded at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on 2 August 2023. The tour was supported by American band Garbage and Cold War Kids in the United States, and English singer Alison Moyet of Yazoo in the United Kingdom.
The tour faced numerous cancelled dates starting from 9 July 2022, owing to Tears for Fears member Curt Smith sustaining a rib injury. All remaining dates of the 2022 tour were eventually cancelled on 15 July 2022.
On 3 April 2023, the band announced an additional North American leg with Cold War Kids on support, called the Tipping Point Tour Part II.
