LOS ANGELES — Girls just wanna tour: Cyndi Lauper is embarking on her three-month farewell tour this fall, the pop-music legend announced Monday, June 3. The "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and "Time After Time" hitmaker, who is the subject of a new Paramount+ documentary, will kick off her final tour at the Bell Centre in Montreal on Oct. 18.
The 23-date tour will hit major cities across the U.S., including her hometown of New York City with a Madison Square Garden show Oct.
30 and a stop in Minnesota at the Target Center in Minneapolis on Dec. 4. The tour will run through Dec.
5, when the Grammy winner plays the last show in Chicago. Tickets will be available this week, starting with an artist presale beginning Tuesday. The general ticket sale begins Friday, according to concert giant and tour promoter Live Nation.
Special guests joining Lauper on tour will be announced at a later date. The singer also will be hitting the festival circuit this summer with appearances at the Royal Albert Hall in London, the Glastonbury Festival also in the U.K.
and Rock in Rio in Brazil before embarking on her tour. The Brooklyn-born pop icon, the first woman in history to have four top-five singles from a debut album, reached the pinnacle of pop music in the 1980s with her spirited anthem "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" off her first album, "She's So Unusual," which helped her earn a best new artist Grammy Award. The "True Colors" singer's tour announcement landed the day before her documenta.
