Following unprecedented demand, selling out 32 nights of her “anniversary tour with a difference”, today the beloved Missy Higgins announces three additional encore shows to her highly anticipated The Second Act Tour.   Additionally, there will be news shows announced for both Adelaide and Darwin in the coming months. 

New shows at Melbourne’s The Palais Theatre on Saturday 22 June, Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre on Friday 5 July and ICC Sydney Theatre on Saturday 6 July will round out an incredible run of special shows for the Aussie singer-songwriter. 

The Second Act Tour will see Missy celebrating the 20th anniversary of her landmark debut The Sound Of White by performing the work in its entirety for the first time ever. This unique two part show will also see Missy previewing tunes from her brand new album - due later this year - which has been described as “a kind of sequel” to her landmark debut.   

Lead single “You Should Run” – out now via EMI Music Australia, here - is the first taste of this highly anticipated new material. Raw, vulnerable, scarred but open hearted, the intense ballad sees Missy producing, engineering and performing everything herself in her own home. It’s a clear statement of intent.  

“After going through a divorce a couple of years ago I felt like the entire story I had written for myself had burnt to the ground”, Missy explains. “For the first time in ages I found myself using song-writing as a form of therapy to try to make sense of it all, in particular how I was supposed to start rebuilding. It’s an intensely personal song so I wanted the recording process to mirror that, thus why I did it alone at home so I could really let it all out, tears and all.” 

Frontier Member presale for Missy’s encore shows will commence on Tuesday 27 February from 12noon local time, before the general on sale commences Thursday 29 February from 12noon local time via frontiertouring.com/missyhiggins. 

These highly anticipated shows will be accompanied by a deluxe anniversary reissue of The Sound Of White on double CD and LP which can be pre-ordered now via www.missyhiggins.com
