Cyndi Lauper took a final lap of the UK and Europe with her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour with PRG entrusted to supply a full 360-degree package, including lighting, video, rigging and audio, for the arena run.
For audio, PRG UK collaborated with PRG Germany to deliver a powerful and precise audio experience using an L-Acoustics system. The goal was to ensure Lauper’s iconic 80s sound reached audiences with exceptional clarity and impact.
The main PA featured 14x K1 with 4x K2 underhangs, complemented by 12 to 16 K2 cabinets for the side hangs. For the low end, 8x K1SB subwoofers were flown, complemented by 15x KS28 in five cardioid stacks of three on the ground. A selection of X12 and A15 speakers provided fills as needed. All powered by L-Acoustics LA12X in a fully redundant AVB network.
One of the standout features of the L-Acoustics setup was its low-mid control, which allowed the team to shape the SPL profile from the design stage, ensuring smooth, consistent coverage across every venue. Additionally, the cardioid subwoofer configuration helped control low-frequency energy on stage making it a cleaner environment for the musicians and Cyndi Lauper.
The tour played in a variety of venues, from intimate arenas like Łódź Arena in Poland and Glasgow’s OVO Hydro to iconic spaces like London’s O2 Arena and Uber Arena in Berlin. Despite the changing environments, the K1 system maintained Lauper’s signature sound, without having to abuse filters to get the midrange balanced throughout the venues.
Cyndi Lauper’s crew, familiar with L-Acoustics’ reliability, trusted PRG to deliver a top-tier audio experience for this farewell tour. The team supporting the shows’ audio needs in UK/Europe included sound engineers Marc Zedda, Dominik Feltes, Loic Castel, Konstantin Maier and Jean‐Jacques Mikinzi.
