“Girls Just Want to Have Fun” and “Time After Time” hitmaker Cyndi Lauper has revealed plans for her farewell concert tour, set to take place across North America this fall.

The Brooklyn-born singer-songwriter will embark on a 23-city trek from October 18 to December 5, her first major tour in over a decade. The two-time Grammy winner’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour” will kick off at the Bell Centre in Montreal.

The tour announcement coincides with the premiere of a new documentary that chronicles Lauper’s rise to fame. Directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Alison Ellwood, Let the Canary Sing debuted on Paramount+ this week in the U.S. and Canada. The film explores Lauper’s meteoric ascent, pioneering punk-inspired style and tireless advocacy work.

Lauper, known for classic songs like “True Colors” and “All Through the Night,” will also appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday to discuss the farewell tour and the documentary.

Let the Canary Sing made its world premiere at the 2023 Tribeca Festival. A companion album of the same name, which features a career-spanning collection of Lauper’s music, has also been released by Legacy Recordings, Sony’s catalog division.
