NEW YORK (CelebrityAccess) – Cyndi Lauper has announced the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour. Produced by Live Nation, the 23-city headlining tour—Lauper’s first major run in a decade—begins on October 18 at Bell Centre in Montreal, QC. The tour will make stops across North America, including her hometown of New York City at the iconic Madison Square Garden, Boston, Nashville, Los Angeles, and more, before wrapping up in Chicago, IL at United Center on December 5. Throughout the tour, Lauper will be joined by special guests to be revealed later.
Tickets will be available starting with an artist presale on Tuesday (June 4). Additional presales will run throughout the week before the general on-sale beginning Friday (June 7) at 10 am local time via Live Nation. Fans can also purchase VIP Packages, which may include premium tickets, a guided backstage tour, a pre-show VIP Lounge, an exclusive tour poster, and more. The contents of VIP packages vary based on the offer selected. For more information, visit the official VIP Nation website.
The announcement of her farewell tour arrives alongside Let the Canary Sing, a feature-length documentary film that explores Lauper’s extraordinary life and career. The documentary will premiere exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and Canada on Tuesday (June 4). Also on Tuesday, in celebration of the tour and the film, Lauper will be honored with an imprint ceremony at the prestigious TCL Chinese Theatre Hollywood in Los Angeles. A special private film screening at the TCL Chinese Theatre will follow that evening, along with a Q&A.
Directed by Emmy® Award-winning documentarian Alison Ellwood, Let the Canary Sing made its world premiere at the 2023 Tribeca Festival. Produced by Fine Point Films and Sony Music Entertainment in association with Concord Originals, the film chronicles Lauper’s ascent to stardom and her profound impact on generations through her music, ever-evolving punk style, unwavering feminism, and tireless advocacy. The documentary takes the audience on an engaging exploration of a renowned and pioneering artist who has left a remarkable legacy with her art.
Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, has released a companion product to the documentary of the same name. The Let the Canary Sing companion album is a career-spanning collection that follows Lauper’s career. The album is available now on vinyl and as a digitally expanded edition.
