MISSY HIGGINS UNVEILS FINAL ENCORE SHOWS FOR“THE SECOND ACT TOUR”: BIG YEAR TO CULMINATE WITH HER BIGGEST HEADLINING SHOWS SINCE 2005

Featured

NEW ALBUM ‘THE SECOND ACT’ OUT SEPTEMBER 6 PRE-ORDER HERE

Over the last five months Missy Higgins has criss-crossed Australia, attracting unanimous raves for “The Second Act Tour”. This uniquely evocative live show celebrates The Sound Of White 20th anniversary with Missy performing that landmark album in its entirety after a stripped-back opening set featuring songs from her forthcoming album – The Second Act.

With the new release finally landing on September 6 (pre-order here), Missy today announced a handful of big encore concerts to end this memorable tour with a bang at iconic venues like the Sydney Opera House Forecourt, Myer Music Bowl, Kings Park and three spectacular wineries in partnership with A Day On The Green. Tickets will go on sale August 30 for pre-sale and full date/venue info is listed below.

“The Second Act Tour: Encore Shows” will include some of Missy’s high-profile musical friends as special guests including Dan Sultan, Kate Miller-Heidke, Ruby Fields, Mia Wray, Elana Stone and Ullah. These will be Missy’s biggest headlining concerts since 2005 when The Sound Of White was riding high. It’s a phenomenal way to cap a massive year which will include her November induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame as announced last week.

“I never imagined it would take me most of 2024 to do this Australian tour”, Missy confesses, “but it’s been such a great experience on every level that I’m glad the band and I will get to share it a few more times with all these big crowds. There have been lots of people posting about how disappointed they were to miss out on getting a chance to see this two act show so now they’ll have no excuse!”

Despite selling out 40 dates so far, most tickets for “The Second Act Tour” were snapped up within minutes so these big “Encore Shows” will provide one last opportunity to discover why this unique live concert has attracted gushing critical acclaim such as:

“A profound emotional rollercoaster” (The Courier Mail)

“Loving Higgins and what she refers to as her “bleeding heart” is an easy thing to do” (Sydney Morning Herald)

“An unforgettable show where audible sobbing filled the silence between songs” (The Examiner, Launceston)

“Euphoric … trembling back and forth between heartbreak and operatic excitement” (The Guardian)

“It feels like she’s playing in her living room to a bunch of friends, raw and unfiltered” (Themusic.com.au)

“Missy Higgins’ Newcastle show was not just a concert; it was a communal experience that showcased her growth as an artist and a person” (Newcastle Live)

“Her heart-wrenching honesty about life, love and grief has made her into one of Australia’s most cherished artists” (The West Australian)
