A Decade in the Making: Lauper’s Return to Headlining
The Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour marks Lauper’s first major headlining tour in over a decade. The journey began last October in North America, where she made history with her first-ever headlining (and sold-out) show at Madison Square Garden.
Following the success of the U.S. leg, Lauper took the tour to the U.K. and Europe before heading to Australia and Japan in April 2025. Along the way, she has been joined by surprise guests including Chaka Khan, Sam Smith, and Hayley Williams, making each show an unforgettable experience.
Beyond the Music: Supporting Women’s Rights
Cyndi Lauper has always been more than just a musician—she’s an activist. Since launching her Girls Just Want to Have Fundamental Rights Fund at the Tides Foundation, she has helped raise over $150,000 through fan donations, online campaigns, and partnerships with organizations like FanDiem.
This initiative continues Lauper’s lifelong commitment to supporting women’s rights, LGBTQ+ advocacy, and youth homelessness.
