NEW ALBUM âTHE SECOND ACTâ OUT SEPTEMBER 6 PRE-ORDER HERE
Over the last five months Missy Higgins has criss-crossed Australia, attracting unanimous raves for âThe Second Act Tourâ. 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.
âThe Second Act Tour: Encore Showsâ will include some of Missyâs high-profile musical friends as special guests including Dan Sultan, Kate Miller-Heidke, Ruby Fields, Mia Wray, Elana Stone and Ullah. These will be Missyâs biggest headlining concerts since 2005 when The Sound Of White was riding high. Itâs a phenomenal way to cap a massive year which will include her November induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame as announced last week.
âI never imagined it would take me most of 2024 to do this Australian tourâ, Missy confesses, âbut itâs been such a great experience on every level that Iâm 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 theyâll have no excuse!â
Despite selling out 40 dates so far, most tickets for âThe Second Act Tourâ were snapped up within minutes so these big âEncore Showsâ will provide one last opportunity to discover why this unique live concert has attracted gushing critical acclaim such as:
