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 🖤

Missy Higgins was inducted into the ARIA Hall Of Fame during the 2024 ARIA Awards in partnership with YouTube last night.
ARIA CEO, Annabelle Herd, said: “Australia has seen Missy Higgins’ music career go from strength to strength, including nine ARIA Awards, several number one albums, and multiple sell-out national tours. The ARIA Hall of Fame is all about celebrating legendary music talent who leave a unique mark, inspiring not only the industry but Australia and the world. Missy is the absolute epitome of this. We couldn’t be happier to be welcoming one of Australia’s most loved and admired artists, Missy Higgins, into the ARIA Hall of Fame.”
Missy said: “I feel very honoured and grateful. So many artists I love and admire are in the ARIA Hall Of Fame so it feels a bit surreal to be joining them. This year has already been really special, now this makes it even more memorable.”
Missy Higgins also won the ARIA Award for ‘Best Australian Live Act’ Presented by Destination NSW.

20 years to the day after her first album hit #1, Missy Higgins has topped the ARIA charts again with her new album ‘The Second Act’. LISTEN HERE
Described as “a kind of sequel” to her trailblazing debut ‘The Sound Of White’, Missy spent most of 2024 previewing these emotive new songs 40 times across Australia in an unusual two act show. Each night, fans were able to pre-order LP’s and CD’s of ‘The Second Act’ and those people laid the foundations for today’s #1 debut.
“I owe my career to the audiences who have come and seen me play live”, said Missy. “In the early days, when I was supporting lots of other artists, I usually signed CDs at the merch booth after my set. Lots of the same people I met way back then came to one of this year’s gigs – some of them even brought their kids – so this tour brought things full circle in all sorts of ways. The crowd support has sustained me through a very difficult period so I’m sincerely grateful to everyone who has embraced The Second Act – it means more than you can imagine.”
Six “Encore Shows” on The Second Act Tourwere recently announced for November/December including one at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl (with special guests Dan Sultan and Mia Wray) which sold out today, nearly 3 months in advance. This 10,000-capacity event, presented by Frontier Touring, will be Missy’s biggest headlining concert since 2005 and follows five sold out nights at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne over winter. The support of the Victorian Government’s ALWAYS LIVEprogram allowed fans to buy Myer Music Bowl tickets at lower prices than the rest of the Encore dates as well as helping Missy fund a ‘per head’ donation to the music industry charity, Support Act.
December’s Sydney Opera House Forecourt “Encore Show” also sold out today – it will be the first headline appearance by Missy at that iconic venue. Kings Park in Perth and three special winery concerts for ‘a day on the green’ (with special guests including Dan Sultan and Kate Miller-Heidke) are all selling fast. For tour info click here.
‘The Second Act’ is Missy Higgins’ fourth album to top the ARIA charts, joining 2004’s ‘The Sound Of White’, ‘On A Clear Night’ in 2007, and ‘The Ol’ Razzle Dazzle’ in 2012. (2014’s ‘Oz’, 2018’s ‘Solastagia’ and the 2022 mini-album ‘Total Control’ all reached #3). This intensely personal collection of new songs, recorded by Missy in her home, has received glowing praise from critics. Beat called it “raw, emotional and soothing”. The Australian said, “her vocals have never been stronger”. AFR noted “… the relatability of its emotional terrain – heartache, growth, resilience” while the ABC hailed ‘The Second Act’ as “one of the most quietly profound, nuanced break-up albums you’ll ever hear.”
According to chart guru Gavin Ryan, today’s chart debut sees Missy Higgins become only the seventh Australian artist in history to have enjoyed #1 albums in at least three consecutive decades. In November she will be inducted into the ARIA Hall Of Fame, capping an extraordinary 20th anniversary year for this beloved singer/songwriter.

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
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)
