Cyndi Lauper is front and center this month as she launches the highly anticipated second leg of her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour, making headlines everywhere from music blogs to mainstream news. The pop legend, now 72, is crossing North America for a final run of 25 shows from July through August 2025, with performances in key cities like New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Denver, Toronto, Vancouver, San Francisco, and a climactic two-night stand at LA’s Hollywood Bowl according to WJRZ and Sunny 94.3. The farewell is the end of an era spanning four decades of electrifying concerts, and she’s making sure fans get to sing along to iconic hits like Time After Time, She Bop, True Colors, and of course, Girls Just Want to Have Fun. Tickets are reportedly moving fast, with prices for lawn spots starting as low as twenty-five dollars and VIP packages climbing up to seven hundred, letting superfans snag front-row views and exclusive merchandise. Emerging artist Jake Wesley Rogers is opening each night, while previous surprise guest appearances from Chaka Khan and Sam Smith have kept fans buzzing.

Fresh off her Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Cyndi made a splashy appearance on Good Morning America on July 8, discussing her farewell tour with emotional candor and reflecting on her groundbreaking 40-year career. ABC News spotlighted her as she reacted to the 40th anniversary of her iconic Time After Time video, opening up about her journey from homelessness to international stardom. The segment was widely shared on social media, where fans have been posting tributes, concert selfies, and clips of her recent TV interviews.

A standout moment came via her statement on GMA, underscoring that while this marks her last arena tour, she’s not retiring completely and is open to occasional performances in the future. She emphasized wanting to leave the stage while still strong, saying she hopes the shows will bring people together to laugh, cry, and celebrate both who she was and who she is now. Her blend of live art and music is enhanced by stage visuals courtesy of artists like Yayoi Kusama and Christian Siriano, making each event as much a feast for the eyes as the ears.

With sold-out dates at venues such as the Northwell at Jones Beach Theater on July 19 and Blossom Music Center in Ohio on July 30, the atmosphere is nostalgic, joyous, and bittersweet. Across concert reviews, social media posts, and mainstream coverage, the consensus is clear: Cyndi Lauper is taking her final bow in style, ensuring her long goodbye will be remembered as much for its heartfelt connection with fans as for its star-studded spectacle.
