Music legend Cyndi Lauper has announced her first-ever Las Vegas residency, titled “Cyndi Lauper: Live In Las Vegas,” scheduled for spring 2026 at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The limited engagement will feature five shows running from April 24 through May 2, conveniently beginning just one week after WrestleMania 42 concludes giving WWE fans and music lovers alike a unique way to extend their entertainment experience in Las Vegas.
A Historic Debut Residency for Cyndi Lauper
Known worldwide for her iconic hits like Girls Just Want to Have Fun and Time After Time, Lauper’s residency marks a significant milestone in her illustrious career. It follows her recently completed Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour, giving fans who missed out another chance to celebrate her music live[1]. The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, a venue famous for hosting residencies by legendary artists, will be transformed into “Cyn City” for this special event, showcasing the energy and creative spirit that have made Lauper a pop culture icon for over four decades[2].
Tickets went on sale in October 2025, with an artist pre-sale providing early access, underscoring the high demand expected for these rare appearances.
Residency Dates and Venue Details
The five scheduled dates are:
- April 24, 2026
- April 25, 2026
- April 29, 2026
- May 1, 2026
- May 2, 2026
All shows will take place at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, a world-renowned venue that has hosted legendary performers such as Celine Dion and Elton John[1][2]. This location is a key player within the entertainment capital of the world, offering fans an intimate yet grandiose setting suitable for Lauper’s dynamic stage presence.
Intersection With WWE’s WrestleMania
Interestingly, the residency’s start date falls exactly one week after WrestleMania 42, which is traditionally WWE’s biggest event of the year. WrestleMania 42 is set for April 17-18, 2026, in Las Vegas, meaning attendees can enjoy back-to-back entertainment from two global powerhouses professional wrestling and pop music right in the same city.
According to a WWE insider familiar with event planning, “The timing of Cyndi’s residency is no accident. WWE and the organizers wanted to create a synergy that allows fans traveling for WrestleMania to experience a diverse entertainment lineup, making Las Vegas an even more compelling destination that week. It’s a win-win for both industries”.
Lauper’s Imminent Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction
Adding to the excitement is Lauper’s upcoming induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2025, an honor that cements her legacy well beyond her chart-topping hits. The timing of the residency shortly after this major honor highlights an ongoing celebration of her career and influence in music and popular culture[1].
Her Las Vegas residency not only honors her decades of success but also introduces her timeless artistry to a new generation of fans.
What Fans Can Expect From “Cyndi Lauper: Live In Las Vegas”
The production will be designed in partnership with Lauper and Brian Burke Creative, ensuring a show that blends iconic classics with theatrical flair. Fans can anticipate performances of signature songs alongside visual spectacle, aligning with Lauper’s reputation for vibrant and memorable stage shows[2].
For those who missed her farewell tour, this residency represents a final chance to see Lauper perform live in an exclusive setting. The residency is also strategically timed for those who want to maximize their Las Vegas trip—catching WrestleMania followed by a dazzling musical celebration.
How to Secure Tickets
Tickets are available through major outlets such as Ticketmaster and SeatGeek, with fan protection guarantees to ensure secure transactions. Given Lauper’s lasting popularity and limited number of shows, these tickets are expected to sell rapidly[1][3].
Backstage Insight: WWE and Music Industries Aligning in Vegas
Sources close to WWE reveal that collaborations on entertainment scheduling between the wrestling promotion and Las Vegas venues have become increasingly strategic. One insider noted, “Bringing together major events like WrestleMania and Cyndi Lauper’s residency is part of a broader push to combine live entertainment in Las Vegas, creating a powerhouse entertainment corridor. It broadens the appeal beyond wrestling fans and Moz fans to the general public visiting the city that week.”
This alignment may signal future opportunities for crossover events or collaborative promotions between WWE and music icons, enhancing the Las Vegas experience for all attendees.
