Lauper’s farewell tour was unveiled on Monday morning, promising a nostalgic ride through 23 cities across North America this fall. Although she has yet to provide a detailed explanation for her retirement from touring, fans can anticipate insights into her decision as she promotes her upcoming documentary, “Let the Canary Sing,” set to premiere on Paramount+ this Tuesday.
The “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour” is anticipated to be Lauper’s most significant road trip in a decade. Commencing on October 18 in Montreal, the tour will culminate on December 5 at Chicago’s United Center, spanning iconic arenas in major cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Nashville.
Among the notable stops on her itinerary are performances at New York’s Madison Square Garden on October 30, Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on November 1, L.A.’s Intuit Dome on November 23, the Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert on November 24, and San Francisco’s Chase Center on November 26. Additionally, Lauper will grace the stage of Detroit’s Fox Theatre on October 24 for a non-arena show.
Ticket sales for the tour will commence with an artist presale on Tuesday, followed by additional presales before the general on-sale opens on Friday at 10 a.m. local time on LiveNation.com. Details regarding opening acts for the tour will be disclosed at a later date.
Alongside the tour announcement, Lauper’s documentary “Let the Canary Sing,” directed by Alison Ellwood, is set to debut on Paramount+. To celebrate the occasion, Lauper will participate in a handprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on the same day as the documentary’s premiere.
