Cyndi Lauper Saying Farewell With ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ Tour

For the first time in over a decade, Cyndi Lauper will be hitting the road for a headlining tour across North America this fall, and she’s going to make it special. The 1980s icon announced the “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour,” a 23-date run which will have Lauper visiting iconic venues, including a show in her hometown of New York at Madison Square Garden.

The announcement of the Live Nation-produced tour, which is directed by Brian Burke and produced and designed in partnership with BrianBurkeCreative and DX7 Design, coincides with the release of “Let the Canary Sing,” a documentary directed by Emmy Award-winning documentarian Alison Ellwood that premiered exclusively on Paramount+ this week and explores Lauper’s life and career. Lauper’s farewell tour kicks off at Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada, on Oct. 18 and includes stops at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena, Detroit’s Fox Theatre, D.C.’s Capital One Arena, State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Moody Center in Austin, Intuit Dome near Los Angeles, Portland’s Moda Center and Minneapolis’ Target Center. Lauper’s run comes to a close Dec. 5 at United Center in Chicago.

The popular singer-songwriter will be accompanied by special guests throughout the tour, and they will be revealed at a later date. Tickets are now available at LiveNation.com. VIP packages that may include premium tickets, a backstage tour, an exclusive tour poster and access to a preshow VIP lounge are also available at vipnation.com.

Lauper has performed at festivals such as Oceans Calling and supported acts including Rod Stewart and Josh Groban in the last few years. She has played several solo shows, including a few in Los Angeles in 2019, in the past decade. She performed a concert at ICC Sydney Theatre in Australia with Blondie on April 4, 2017, which grossed $622,996 off 6,775 tickets sold, according to reports submitted to Pollstar’s Boxoffice. Lauper is repped by United Talent Agency and managed by Lisa Barbaris of So What Management.
