Background
editIn June 2024 Lauper announced the farewell tour, clarifying that she is not retiring and will be open to occasional performances, stating that she wanted to do an arena tour while she's "strong now, but [she doesn't] know what [she is] going to be like in four years." and that she really wants to celebrate with people and make it fun.[1]
The tour coincides with her documentary Let The Canary Sing which premiered at Tribeca Festival in 2023.[1][2] Legacy Records, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, released a compilation album of the same name which is a "career-spanning collection" of Lauper's career.[2]
Promotion
editTo promote the tour Lauper appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on June 5th.[1] She also played two greatest hits shows in the United Kingdom, one at the Royal Albert Hall in London and appearances at Glastonbury Festival 2024.[1][3][4]
Pre-sale tickets went on sale on June 4th with the general sale beginning on June 7th.[2]
