NEW YORK, March 5

The True Colors Tour will hit the road again this summer with an exciting new line-up of legendary and up and coming artists including headliners Cyndi Lauper, The B-52s, Rosie O'Donnell with host Carson Kressley and many more. After receiving rave reviews and a successful debut in 2007, the True Colors Tour is expanding to meet demand in many more cities. The tour will kick off Gay & Lesbian Pride Month on May 31st at Boston's Bank of America Pavilion.


Produced by True Colors Concerts in partnership once again with the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the 24 city North American tour is presented by Logo in support of the newly created True Colors Fund of Stonewall Community Foundation. The concerts feature nearly five hours of nonstop music with exciting special guests appearing on select dates throughout the tour including Wanda Sykes, Tegan and Sara, Regina Spektor, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Joan Armatrading, Indigo Girls, Nona Hendryx, Deborah Cox and The Cliks.
This year's tour will highlight the need for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community and their straight allies to get out and make their votes count this fall. HRC and this year's other non-profit partners -- CenterLink (the nation's LGBT community centers) and Parents, Families, Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) National -- are joining with the True Colors Tour to bring together Americans across the country to voice their solidarity for LGBT equality and raise public awareness about the issues that face the LGBT community.

The True Colors Tour was conceived by Cyndi Lauper stemming from her desire to give back to the community for the love and support they have given her throughout her career. The True Colors Tour is a celebration of the basic values and freedoms that should be shared by all Americans. Fans will experience these values through the music of both legendary icons and the newest and coolest acts this generation has to offer.

"I'm so excited and honored that we're taking True Colors out on the road again this year," said tour producer and creator Cyndi Lauper. "We had a blast last year and we are proud that the tour also brought about visibility and discussions of issues that LGBT citizens face in our country today. This year I am once again joined on the tour by an array of incredibly talented artists. The tour is a non stop 5 hour music party with a message. This year the party only gets bigger and our message to the fans is to get out and vote in November.

The True Colors Tour asks for equality for all, not just for some, that is the principal upon which this country was founded. So let's celebrate and have fun this summer while we spread the word to get out the vote and all become a part of the changes in this country."

my bf (at the time) got kicked out last year for being to drunk and ruined the show...i missed cyndi and left during erasure. meh.

at least i got to see the dresden dolls and deborah harry who looked liek a big old mess.

it's too bad the lineup isn't as good as last year's was

deborah cox is still around, hilarious.

i'd take the b-52's over erasure anyday and joan jett over the gossip!

i ws shocked about deborah cox too....i wonder if she still wears her hair in a pony tail?

The lineup doesn't seem as exciting as last year. The only one I'd be interested in seeing from that list is Regina Spektor. I'm still kicking myself for missing the Atlantic City show last year with Margaret Cho & Dresden Dolls.

I'd go if it was just The B-52's and Regina but I don't like the line-up. I'll pass and see them individually.

Part B was put up after Edgefest 2005. Lesson learned.

And ye4ah, the last gig I went to was Teh White Stripes during the Get Behind Me Satan tour. Which, btw, was totally frickin' sweet.

9 hours of black T-shirts and guitar stances is too scarring too get over so easily. Shittiest day ever.
And Edgefest 2003 was good! Sloan and The Hip. And marijuana was legal that week.
