Very happy to announce that I’ll be playing at Bluesfest Byron Bay on the Easter Long weekend in 2025!

It’s bittersweet, being the last Bluesfest after 35 years. What an innings. It’s held a special place in my heart since 2007, the first time I really used a major platform / stage for an environmental cause. I’ve also jay had some of the funnest shows ever on the Blues Fest stage. What an institution it’s been.

If you can make it, come along. It’ll be a very special and probably pretty memorable weekend for all of us 🖤

After more than six years, Missy Higgins finally releases her fifth studio album today – aptly titled The Second Act. The deeply confessional and emotive set has been described as “a kind of sequel” to her ARIA Award winning debut The Sound Of White so it’s appropriate that this new album is landing 20 years to the day after her classic debut.

To coincide with this release Missy has unveiled her music video for an upbeat, tongue-in-cheek new song called “Craters” which can be viewed here.

In response to fan demand, she has also finally made her tour merch range available online for 72 hours. During this strictly limited window each order of a collectable tour item will receive a download of The Second Act.

Songs from Missy’s eagerly anticipated new album have already been previewed at 40 sold out shows across Australia, drawing unanimous rave reviews. Missy has explained that her new songs pick up on a lot of the same themes that she was exploring when she first started writing songs – “who am I and who do  want to be?” – hence the tour’s unusual structure where new material was juxtaposed with a performance of her entire debut album across two distinct, but linked, acts.

Last week Missy announced six encore shows for The Second Act Tour during Nov/Dec at iconic outdoor venues: The Sydney Opera House Forecourt, Kings Park in Perth, Melbourne’s Myer Music Bowl and three special winery performances presented by ‘a day on the green’. The shows will take total attendances for this tour past 100,000 Australians, capping an extraordinary year for Missy which will include her November induction into the ARIA Hall Of Fame. Special guests on these final encore dates include good friends  Dan Sultan, Kate Miller-Heidke and Elana Stone.

MISSY HIGGINS – NEW ALBUM ‘THE SECOND ACT’ – OUT NOW

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 20^th 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:

“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)

MISSY CURRENTLY TOURING NATIONALLY

PRESENTED BY FRONTIER TOURING

A big year for Missy Higgins gets even bigger this week with the release of an eagerly anticipated new single, and the digital unveiling of her first new album in six years – The Second Act.

“A Complicated Truth” has generated intense fan reactions every time Missy previewed the heartbreaking ballad during her sold-out national tour over recent months. As the beloved singer/songwriter explains:

“I was driving around one day with my five year old daughter in the back of the car, not long after her dad and I had split up, and she started asking a heap of questions all of a sudden like “why can’t daddy live in our house anymore?” and “how can you just stop being married if you made promises to each other?”. As you can imagine it felt like a dagger in my heart. I just didn’t know what to tell her. So later that night I decided to try and answer her questions in a song. Maybe one day when she listens to it she might understand things a bit better”

In a tour overflowing with rave reviews, critics have repeatedly singled out this evocative song for special mention. For example:

“I don’t think anyone was ready for her new song “A Complicated Truth” … there was audible sobbling coming from members of the audience. The tune is sure to send ripples around the globe once it’s released.” (Newcastle Live)

“I find myself full blown sobbing to her new track “A Complicated Truth”. A song written for her 5 year old daughter Luna, trying to explain divorce. It’s a particularly gutting, honest to a fault way of explaining how love can change and bend to a child” (Ramona Magazine)

Appropriately the song is accompanied by a striking video filmed during one of Missy’s five memorable nights at Melbourne’s iconic Palais Theatre.

WATCH THE OFFICIAL VIDEO HERE

The release of “A Complicated Truth” coincides with the digital unveiling of her new album The Second Act which will be released on September 6. This introspective 12 song set has been available for LP & CD pre-order for several months but as of today the full track listing can be viewed /pre-ordered here. 

The Second Actwas written and co-produced by Missy and, appropriately for such an intimate piece of work, she recorded it at home. An evocative and highly thematic batch of songs about trying to build a new life, it has been described as a “kind of sequel” to Missy’s trailblazing debut The Sound Of White – hence the bookending of these two albums on Missy’s hugely successful “Second Act Tour” which has sold out nearly 40 shows across Australia.

Following phenomenal ticket demand nationwide with 38 sold out shows to date for Missy Higgins ‘The Second Act Tour 2024’, Frontier Touring is proud to announce an extra Victorian show for Costa Hall, Geelong on Sunday 4 August.

The Frontier Member presale for the new Geelong show begins Thu 23 May from 11am AEST before the on sale begins Mon 27 May from 11am AEST. Tickets via frontiertouring.com/missyhiggins.

The now 39-date ‘anniversary tour with a difference’ is currently touring the country to rave reviews, celebrating the 20th anniversary of Missy’s landmark debut The Sound Of White album, performed in its entirety for the first time ever plus a preview performance of songs from the brand-new album The Second Act.

“It is her heart-wrenching honesty about life, love and grief that has made her one of Australia’s most cherished artists.” ★★★★ – The West Australian

“It’s the kind of show where when the stage lights come down you can see people in the audience smiling. Families, couples and friends – all ages and all enraptured by Higgins’ vocals.” – Ramona Magazine

“Higgins gives a remarkable performance that shows how far she’s come and gives a glimpse of the exciting new chapter embarking on that promises to be her most truthful and personal to date.” – The Music “Missy showcases the spine-tingling, impressive vocals of a confident, mature artist who has grown into herself. Missy owns the stage.” – Australian Musician WATCH THE OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR ‘THE SECOND ACT’ HERE
