About this listen
Cyndi Lauper is owning the spotlight yet again as she embarks on the final leg of her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour, a 24-date North American run that has fans across the country celebrating a decades-defining career. This past week, the pop legend has been electrifying audiences from Kansas City at the Azura Amphitheater, expressing her gratitude on Instagram with a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to the Kansas show and making headlines for packing arenas even at age 71. According to Parade, when a recent concert video sparked critical commentary, a passionate rush of fans and fellow artists jumped to her defense, underscoring her enduring cultural cachet and the personal loyalty she inspires.
Major upcoming shows are set for the Cascades Amphitheater in Ridgefield, Washington on August 17, followed by the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View on August 24, the Toyota Pavilion at Concord on August 26, and two much-anticipated sendoffs at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles August 29 and 30. These appearances are particularly significant, marking Lauper’s first major solo tour in over ten years and what she has framed as her goodbye to life on the road. The concerts feature rising pop provocateur Jake Wesley Rogers as a supporting act and are being billed as emotional celebrations rather than somber farewells, with the setlists drawing from her iconic catalog spanning five decades, from Girls Just Want to Have Fun to True Colors and Time After Time.
Just last month, Lauper reflected on her journey and the farewell tour on Good Morning America, emphasizing her desire to celebrate with her fans and close out her live career on a high note. Recent headlines have also spotlighted the release of Let The Canary Sing, a feature-length documentary chronicling her trailblazing rise and profound influence on pop music, gender expression, and LGBTQ+ rights activism. On social media she remains active, with fans routinely sharing concert clips, messages of support, and retro tributes to her signature style and outspoken advocacy.
No notable rumors or controversies have surfaced beyond some unconfirmed online speculation about possible surprise guests at her Hollywood Bowl shows, which Lauper’s team has not confirmed. All signs point to her farewell tour becoming a long-remembered event in music history, and Cyndi Lauper herself—true to form—remains a genuine force, writing the rhythms of her life with flair, fun, and fearless individuality.
