The final leg of Lauper’s hit ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ tour will see her play Toronto and Vancouver this summer before she takes her final bow…
‘80s pop icon Cyndi Lauper, a vocal ally for the LGBTQ+ community, will make two last stops in Canada this summer as she concludes her epic Girls Just Wanna Have Fun farewell tour. Lauper will play Toronto’s Budweiser Stage on Sunday, July 27 and Vancouver’s Rogers Arena on Thursday, August 21.
Billed as her final major tour — and her first headlining tour in a decade — Lauper kicked off the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun tour on October 18, 2024. The initial North American dates of the run included Canadian stops in Montreal and Toronto last October.
After Lauper plays her final Canadian date in Vancouver she will head south for her final shows. The farewell trek is currently scheduled to wrap up (for good) with a two-night stand in Los Angeles, CA, on Friday, August 29 and Saturday, August 30.
Lauper burst onto the music scene back in 1983 with the release of her smash album She’s So Unusual, and helped define a new era of pop music that evolved alongside MTV. With the release of that album, she made history by becoming the first female artist in history with four top-five songs from a debut album. With a string of top 10 hits and two Grammy wins (including one for Best New Artist), and her over-the-top looks, Lauper instantly appealed to queer audiences, but it is thanks to her consistent advocacy and her long-time activism for LGBTQ+ rights that the quirky vocalist with her four-octave vocal range is still celebrated decades later.
As is to be expected from a farewell tour, the set list is packed with the hits and songs that the audience has been singing along to. Expect to hear: “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” “The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough,” “I Drove All Night,” “She Bop,” “True Colors,” “Time After Time,” and many more faves.
Along with launching her farewell tour in 2024, Lauper appeared in a new career retrospective documentary, Let The Canary Sing.
Tickets for both final Canadian dates of Cyndi Lauper’s Girls Just Wanna Have Fun tour are available now at LiveNation.com and cyndilauper.com.
