Missy Higgins - The Second Act Tour 2024
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 (via EMI Music Australia, pre-order here), Missy today announced a final WA encore show, presented by Mellen Events at the iconic Kings Park & Botanic Garden, Perth on Sunday 15 December.
“The Second Act Tour: Final Western Australian Encore Show” will include two special guests, Ruby Fields and Ullah. It’s a phenomenal way to cap off a massive year for Missy which will include her induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame in November, as announced recently.
Despite selling out 40 dates so far, most tickets for “The Second Act Tour” were snapped up within minutes so this encore show will provide one last opportunity to discover why this unique live concert has attracted gushing critical acclaim.
