Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour


The Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour was the sixteenth concert tour by American musician Cyndi Lauper. The tour is named after her 1983 debut single "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and has been described as her final major tour. The tour began on October 18, 2024 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada and concluded on August 30, 2025 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, United States, after 69 shows in four continents.

Background

In June 2024 Lauper announced the farewell tour, clarifying that she is not retiring and will be open to occasional performances, stating that she wanted to do an arena tour while she's "strong now, but know what going to be like in four years." and that she really wants to celebrate with people and make it fun. It is her first world tour since the Detour Tour and her first all-arena tour since the True Colors World Tour.
The tour coincides with her documentary Let The Canary Sing which premiered at Tribeca Festival in 2023. Legacy Records, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, released a compilation album of the same name which is a "career-spanning collection" of Lauper's career.

Promotion

To promote the tour Lauper appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on June 5. She also played two greatest hits shows in the United Kingdom, one at the Royal Albert Hall in London and appearances at Glastonbury Festival 2024.
Pre-sale tickets went on sale on June 4, with the general sale beginning on June 7. Dates for the 2025 European leg of the tour went on sale starting June 28. The opening acts for the tour were announced on Lauper's website on October 1, along with a new show in Atlantic City, New Jersey on December 7. Dates for Australia and Japan were announced in October, with a second date in Tokyo added November 24th due to demand.
