Cyndi Lauper Speaks Out After Glastonbury Sound Woes—But She’s Not Done Yet!
Share On
Alright, festival fam, let’s talk about Cyndi Lauper at Glasto—because wow, that set had everything: iconic anthems, some unexpected drama, and unfortunately, a whole lot of sound issues. But Cyndi being Cyndi? She took it all in stride and has just broken her silence on the whole chaotic situation.
The Glasto Set That Had Us Talking
When Cyndi Lauper took to Glastonbury’s Other Stage, anticipation was high. We’re talking about a woman who’s given us absolute bangers like Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Time After Time, and True Colors—her set was bound to be a highlight.
But then? Technical gremlins struck.
From the very first track, something was off. The bass was drowning out her vocals, her in-ear monitors seemed to be playing tricks on her, and at times, she was seen gesturing to the side of the stage, seemingly trying to get the production team’s attention. Fans, both in the crowd and watching from home, quickly realised something wasn’t right. By the time she got to Time After Time, some had started walking away, frustrated that they just couldn’t hear her properly.
Now, Cyndi has finally spoken out about what happened. In an interview with The Sunday Times, she admitted:
“I couldn’t hear the band and that sucked. I wanted to be really great.”
For a performer as legendary as Cyndi, giving anything less than her absolute best just isn’t an option—so you can bet the sound problems were as frustrating for her as they were for the audience.
From Glasto Glitches to NYC Downlow Triumph
But don’t think for a second that Cyndi let it ruin her festival experience. Nope—after the debacle, she rocked up at NYC Downlow, Glastonbury’s infamous queer nightclub (if you know, you know). And guess what?
She absolutely smashed it.
With zero sound problems this time, she delivered a surprise rendition of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun—and the crowd, many of them dressed in little more than glitter and good vibes, went completely wild. A source at the club said:
“Cyndi has clearly got very thick skin as she shrugged off the controversy and went again … but this time with much better results.”
That’s the energy we love to see. 🎤💥
The Big News: Cyndi’s UK Farewell Tour
Now, if you were at Glasto and left feeling like you didn’t quite get the full Cyndi experience, don’t stress—because she’s just dropped HUGE news.
Cyndi Lauper’s ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour’ is coming to the UK in 2025!
Yep, she’s taking her final victory lap across the country, hitting:

“I want to say goodbye big, you know?” she said.
And honestly? We wouldn’t expect anything less.
So, What’s Next?
Glasto may not have gone to plan, but Cyndi is not one to dwell on the past. She’s taking her farewell tour as a chance to do what she does best—put on an unforgettable show.
The only question now is—who’s getting tickets? 🎟️💃✨
