Missy Higgins

Missy Higgins is one of Australia’s most beloved singer/songwriters. She has struck a deep and enduring chord with her irresistible melodies, ‘arrow through the heart’ lyrics and classic songs like “Scar”, “The Special Two”, “Steer”, “Everyone’s Waiting” and “Futon Couch”. 

2024 was a huge year for Missy with the release of her new album The Second Act - “a kind of sequel” to her hugely influential debut The Sound Of White. That raw and introspective classic was about taking on the world as a 20-year-old while The Second Act is about doing that all over again as a 40-year-old, after the stories you told yourself turned out not to be true. Written, produced, and performed largely on her own, it’s a powerful statement which topped the ARIA charts 20 years to the day after Missy's The Sound Of White reached #1. 

Missy also hit the road across 2024 with The Second Act Tour drawing unanimous rave reviews across 46 dates to 100,000+ Australians, culminating in sold out shows at the biggest venues she’s headlined in nearly 20 years. The Second Act Tour won the publicly voted ARIA Award for 2024’s “Best Live Act” on a night when Missy was also inducted into the ARIA Hall Of Fame, taking her career total to 11 ARIAs and capping a year which has been – in every respect – transformative. Since being Unearthed by Triple J while still at high school, Missy has blazed a trail for female singer/songwriters in this country, marching to her own drumbeat and earning 26 ARIA Award nominations plus seven ARIA #1’s (so far!).
