Cyndi Lauper fans in Cincinnati have marked their calendars for July 29, as the iconic ‘80s pop star is set to bring her show-stopping "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" farewell tour to the Riverbend Music Center. According to FOX19, this visit marks her first major headlining tour in a decade and follows a successful international run that began last October. The singer's return to the Queen City, her first since 2017, promises to be a memorable event. However, it is still unclear whether Lauper will bring any major surprise guests to Cincinnati, as she has done in other cities with Chaka Khan and Haley Williams of Paramore.

Lauper’s farewell tour symbolizes an end of an era for the "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" singer and continues to gauge significant attention. With advance tickets available from Tuesday and general ticket sales commencing on March 14, fans are eager to secure their spot at the show. The farewell tour has also been a platform for philanthropy, with Lauper raising money for the Girls Just Want to Have Fundamental Rights Fund at the Tides Foundation. As reported by CityBeat, her efforts have culminated in $150,000 raised through donations at shows and online campaigns.

Beyond celebrating her illustrious career, Lauper has recently been nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame class of 2025. Echoing critical acclaim, CityBeat shared statements from Billboard that praised the singer's enduring vocal prowess and Variety’s Chris Willman’s commentary that she "pretty well established for all time that girls just want to be multi-faceted." Opening acts for Lauper’s Cincinnati performance include pop musician and songwriter Jake Wesley Rogers, known for touring with Panic! At The Disco and Kesha.

Joining the list of artists setting their sights on Cincinnati is Grammy-winning and Super Bowl performer Lauren Daigle, who is slotted to bring soulful melodies to TQL Stadium this summer on May 17, accompanied by Maverick City Music, Blessing Offor, and Jaci Velasquez. According to WLWT, tickets for her concert, among others announced Monday, will be up for grabs starting March 14. While fans of various music genres have several shows to look forward to, Cyndi Lauper's final curtain call sparks waves of nostalgia and excitement, setting the stage for what is sure to be a standout summer for live music in Cincinnati.
