Pat Benatar & Cyndi Lauper To Join Cher’s “Dressed To Kill” Tour: See The Dates

When Cher announced her Dressed to Kill tour, she sounded slightly torn. “The road is horrible, but the concerts are great,” she said in September. “I understand why guys in bands tear up hotel rooms and throw TVs out the windows, because it’s a very lonely place.”

When she stopped by Watch What Happens Live on January 30, however, Cher revealed two stunning reasons why she won’t be lonely on tour, after all: Pat Benetar and Cyndi Lauper, these two stars of MTV’s founding era, will be joining her.

Longtime guitarist and husband Neil Giraldo will back Benatar (“Heartbreaker,” “Hit Me with Your Best Shot,” “Love is a Battlefield,” the list goes on) while she performs for the first Dressed to Kill 13 dates. Lauper, the “Girls Who Just Wanna Have Fun” star who just won a Grammy (“YES!” YES!”), opens for the rest of her Cher’s five-month tour. See the full list of dates after the jump.
