Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour with Special Guests
Friday, August 29 and Saturday, August 30, 8PM
📍 Hollywood Bowl, 2301 Highland Ave, LA 90068
💲Tickets from $32
In 1983, a relatively unknown singer named Cyndi Lauper put out her debut album, entitled She’s So Unusual. Within two years, she’d be a superstar, tracks like “Time After Time” and “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” would cement themselves as among the greatest pop songs of the 20th century, and she’d take home her first Grammy.
Between her feminist anthems like “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” and “True Colors,” and her unapologetic flair for color and individuality, her show will feel both nostalgic and energizing. Seeing her perform live isn’t just about the music - it’s about celebrating bold self-expression and meaningful storytelling.
The icon says goodbye over a pair of nights.
