24-Show North American Summer Run Starts This Thursday, July 17, With Support From Jake Wesley Rogers
– Cyndi Lauper is about to head out on the final leg of her extensive year-long Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour, with 24 North American tour dates for this summer. The cross-continent tour of outdoor amphitheaters and performing arts centers will begin this Thursday, July 17 and includes Jones Beach in Wantagh, NY on July 19 and two nights at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on August 29 and 30. Lauper recently appeared on Good Morning America and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to reflect on her farewell tour, as well as her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Tickets are available now at LiveNation.com + cyndilauper.com. The tour will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. Packages vary but include premium tickets, pre-show VIP lounge, specially designed VIP gift item & more. VIP package contents vary based on the offer selected. For more information, visit vipnation.com. American pop musician and songwriter Jake Wesley Rogers will join as the tour opener. Rogers was discovered by Justin Tranter and has previously opened for Panic! At the Disco and Kesha in addition to playing major festivals and his own headline tour.
Lauper’s international Farewell Tour – her first major headlining run in a decade – kicked off in North America last October, and included her first time ever headlining (and selling out) Madison Square Garden. Lauper’s performances have earned tremendous raves from the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Variety, Vulture, USA Today, New York Post and many more, and surprise guests including Chaka Khan, Sam Smith, and Hayley Williams. The tour just visited the U.K. and Europe, Australia and Japan.
Lauper has also been raising money for the Girls Just Want to Have Fundamental Rights Fund at the Tides Foundation since the Farewell Tour launched last fall. So far, approximately $200,000 has been raised through direct donations fans have made at her shows and through efforts like online campaigns in partnership with FanDiem.
This summer, Cyndi Lauper has invited three leading organizations to come on the road with her to help her fans register to vote and take action on issues that matter to them. At most shows, an “Action Center” will be erected for concert goers to stop by and visit with the Human Rights Campaign, League of Women Voters, and Planned Parenthood. As Lauper always says, “knowledge is power” and she continues her longstanding efforts to ensure that the public is informed about the issues that are impacting their lives and the lives of their family and friends, as well as have opportunities to be a part of the solution.
Lauper – the GRAMMY, EMMY and TONY-winning
artist celebrated for her history-making albums, music videos, advocacy and ever-evolving style – developed a unique show to connect her hits with the visual art she loves. Original collaborations featuring the work of Yayoi Kusama, Daniel Wurtzel, fashion designer Christian Siriano, and Geoffrey Mac play a key role in the concert presentation. The Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour is produced by Live Nation and designed in partnership with Brian Burke Creative.
It’s been a tremendous past 12 months for Lauper, in addition to her tour and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. Let The Canary Sing, a feature-length documentary film directed by Alison Elwood, is streaming on Paramount Plus, and she has been celebrated with appearances on Graham Norton, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the TODAY Show, Watch What Happens Liveand The Kelly Clarkson Show.
The Empire State Buildingwas lit in canary yellow in her honor, and she has been profiled by CBS Sunday Morning, Vulture, the New York Times and Variety among many others. She was also honored with a hand imprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood (with an introduction by her friends Cher and Bebe Rexha), and introduced Sabrina Carpenter’s performance at the MTV VMA Awards last fall.
