About this listen
Here is what’s making news in Cyndi Lauper’s world over the past few days. The headline story is the continued rollout of her “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” Farewell Tour, which has dominated both pop culture headlines and fan conversations. Lauper’s final major tour—her first in over a decade—has been everywhere, with fans scrambling for tickets at major venues from Pine Knob Music Theatre in Michigan on August 1 to Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre in Salt Lake City on August 14, and an 18,000-seat date at the Cascades Amphitheater in Ridgefield, Washington on August 17. The tour’s grand finale is slated for the end of August at massive venues like the Toyota Pavilion at Concord, California and the famed Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, where she’ll play August 29. Lauper, now five decades into her career, is not calling this a retirement but wants to celebrate while she’s “strong,” recently saying on Jimmy Kimmel Live that she isn’t sure what she’ll be like in four years but is certain she wants “to celebrate with people and make it fun.” The Daily Herald and Hollywood Bowl websites report sellouts are expected across her remaining tour dates, and the buzz is only getting louder.
Major public appearances include a July 8 sit-down on Good Morning America, timed after her Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. The interview was filled with both nostalgic reflections and forward-looking optimism, cementing her enduring status in the cultural canon. Lauper’s Farewell Tour and her Hall of Fame induction have also inspired a merchandising frenzy, like the new “Herstory” T-shirt from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that’s popping up all over Instagram. Meanwhile, fans have kept her trending with posts featuring recent live performances and throwbacks—one notably features Lauper performing “The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough,” sending her old-school energy across new digital feeds.
While no major new business ventures or shocking controversies have broken in the past few days, the chatter about a feature-length documentary, Let The Canary Sing, continues to build. Announced alongside her tour and revisiting her eventful life and career, it’s expected to further burnish her legend when it drops later this year. The last week’s social media activity—think #herstory, farewell tour reels, and merch reveals—has been celebratory and fan-focused, reinforcing Lauper’s reputation as a true original who, even at the close of her touring life, inspires zest and genuine affection across generations. Nothing speculative about it: Cyndi Lauper is bowing out of major touring on her own terms, to a stadium full of cheers and vivid colors—just as she always promised.
