To coincide with the start of a three-month national theatre tour, Missy Higgins unveiled a new song today called “The Second Act”. Not only did this yearning and hopeful ballad inspire the name of her “anniversary tour with a difference” but she has also revealed that ‘The Second Act’will be the title for her first full length studio album in six years. The confessional collection of new works is available for LP/CD pre-order HERE right now and will be released Friday 6th September on the actual 20th anniversary of ‘The Sound Of White’s’ instore date.
As well as this new single drop, today also marks the release of a deluxe LP/CD and digital Anniversary Edition of her trailblazing debut album which contains previously unreleased live versions of every song and liner notes written by the artist herself. This unusual fusion of past and present music releases – all on the same day – makes sense given that Missy has described ‘The Second Act’ as “a kind of sequel” to ‘The Sound Of White.’
“I wrote all those songs on the first album when I was in my late teens when I never thought anyone would hear them, so they were very personal, like I was writing my secrets in a diary”, Missy explains. “I did less of that on later albums for lots of reasons but lately I realized I’d gone back to that confessional mode of songwriting. I guess it’s been my way of dealing with the end of my marriage. So, I feel like I’ve come full circle … I was starting life from scratch at 20 and now, like lots of people, I’m figuring out how to start life all over again at 40.”
“The Second Act” is a song that deals very directly with all that – picking yourself up, dusting yourself off and heading out into the world.”
WATCH THE OFFICIAL VIDEO HERE:
The Second Act Tour hits Canberra and Sydney this week for the first five of 37 sold out dates which will bring this unique live experience to over 70,000 Australians. At each show Missy will take the stage early and perform two sets. The first will be performed largely in solo mode and feature rarely performed fan favourites plus some new songs from ‘The Second Act’ album which will be released after the tour. Then after an intermission she will return for a second set introducing her band to perform ‘The Sound Of White’ in its entirety plus a few of her other hits.
This unusual mix of old and new music, across two separate Acts, makes clear creative sense. The two sets of songs share a strongly introspective focus and lots of recurring lyrical threads. Despite being written two decades apart, these albums see Missy grappling with the same questions from different points in time.
“They’re both looking forward nervously and wondering what comes next. They’re both asking questions like “who am I?” and “who do I want to be?” so I liked the idea of previewing some of this new material in the first act of a live show, then going back to the start of the story in the second act. Plus it will just be fun to play all those old songs again for the first time in ages. At very least it will be something different and if I’ve learned anything over the last year or two it’s that you’ve got to keep embracing new challenges!”
Since being Unearthed by Triple J back in 2002 when she was still at high school then carving a career on her own terms Missy has helped to inspire local female singer/songwriters including Amy Shark, Thelma Plum, Gretta Ray, Gordi and Angie McMahon who have all cited her as a formative influence (eg: https://themusic.com.au/features/missy-higgins-the-sound-of-white-20th-anniversary-retrospective/-vdA7O_uERA/08-03-24 and https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/news/the-sound-of-missy/10469412)
After 20 years, 26 ARIA Award nominations, and three chart topping albums Missy Higgins continues to blaze her own trail – including this new tour which will be one of her biggest ever. Her ‘Second Act’ proves that if great male Australian solo artists can enjoy lifelong conversations with broad audiences then it’s way past time for Australian women to be able to do it too.

MISSY HIGGINS RELEASES NEW SINGLE – ‘YOU SHOULD RUN’ + EAST COAST ENCORE SHOWS FOR ‘THE SECOND ACT TOUR 2024’
‘YOU SHOULD RUN‘
“You Should Run” is the first song from a new Missy Higgins’ album due later in 2024. 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 so I could really let it all out, tears and all.”
“You Should Run” is a vivid emotional outpouring that will strike a deep chord with everyone who has ever had to start all over again. It sees Missy returning to the highly confessional writing style which first connected her with audiences 20 years ago but this time she’s singing about different sorts of “scars”.
After selling out every show on “The Second Act Tour” last December Missy Higgins has some good news for all those fans who missed out – revealing a handful of encore dates for her ‘anniversary tour with a difference’. New concerts in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane will go on sale next week with shows in Adelaide and Darwin to be announced next month. For all details click here.
“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 a brand new album – due later this year – which has been described as “a kind of sequel” to her landmark debut.
“I’m probably biased but I think these songs are as good as anything I’ve written. As a 40-year-old female musician it’s not easy to get heard but hopefully this tour will give people a chance to hear the new material, particularly anyone struggling through a similar life transition. I’ve realised lately there are a lot of us out there, and it’s always nice to realise you’re not alone.”

EAST COAST ENCORE SHOWS ADDED FOR ‘THE SECOND ACT TOUR 2024‘
Following unprecedented demand, selling out 32 nights of her “anniversary tour with a difference”, three additional encore shows have been added to Missy’s highly anticipated The Second Act Tour. Additionally, there will be new 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 on Saturday 6 July will round out an incredible run of special shows for the Aussie singer-songwriter.

MISSY HIGGINS ANNOUNCES “THE SECOND ACT TOUR” CELEBRATING THE SOUND OF WHITE 20TH ANNIVERSARY
Missy Higgins is unveiling ‘an anniversary tour with a difference’ to celebrate 20 years since her trailblazing debut, The Sound Of White.
The Second Act Tour will see Missy touring theatres nationally next autumn in a special two act show (see dates, venues and ticketing info below). The first set each evening will include some brand-new songs, plus a few fan favourites from early in her career, all played in stripped back, acoustic mode. After an intermission Missy will then return with her full band to perform The Sound Of White in its entirety plus some of her other hits. This will be the first time that she has done a theatre tour since 2018, soon after playing stadiums across Australia as Ed Sheeran’s special guest. It will see Missy returning to many of the same venues she first played when The Sound Of White exploded back in 2004.
Missy Higgins fan presale commences Monday 11 December, staggered times before the general on sale Wednesday 13 December, staggered times, see below. Sign up for pre-sale tickets, HERE.
The Sound Of White is one of the biggest and most influential albums in Australian music history. The intensely introspective collection of yearning songs yielded bona fide classics like “Scar”, “Ten Days” and “The Special Two”. It has sold a million copies and received 6 ARIA Awards. Over the last 20 years The Sound Of White has also inspired dozens of young Australian women – including major artists like Amy Shark, Gretta Ray, Gordi and Angie McMahon – to follow in Missy’s footsteps and sing their own songs in their own ways.
“I wrote all those songs in my late teens when I never thought anyone would hear them, so they were very personal, like I was writing my secrets in a diary”, says Missy. “I did less of that on later albums for lots of reasons but lately I realized I’d gone back to that confessional mode of songwriting. I guess it’s been my way of dealing with the end of my marriage. So I feel like I’ve come full circle … I was starting life from scratch at 20 and now, like lots of people, I’m figuring out how to start life all over again at 40.”
“In that respect this new album that I’m recording right now will be a kind of sequel to The Sound Of White. They’re both looking forward nervously and wondering what comes next. They’re both asking questions like “who am I?” and “who do I want to be?” so I liked the idea of previewing some of this new material in the first act of a live show, then going back to the start of the story in the second act. Plus it will just be fun to play all those old songs again for the first time in ages. At very least it will be something different and if I’ve learned anything over the last year or two it’s that you’ve got to keep embracing new challenges!”
Legendary Group Music Director of the triple j Networks, Richard Kingsmill, reflects “the incredible success of The Sound Of White was not just in its sales figures, as impressive as they were. Missy Higgins was something bigger. With her talent, honesty and unapologetic Australianness, she was a signpost for so many artists that followed. The number of local singers and songwriters I’ve interviewed over time who have told me that Missy, and especially that debut album, was the reason they picked up an instrument and started singing in the first place is mind-boggling. Her success crosses the gender divide too. We’ve had plenty of male rock groups in our Like A Version studio wanting to cover Missy songs. Dear Seattle’s cover of ‘The Special Two’ for instance made it into the Hottest 100 of Like A Version this year. So Missy inspired that next generation of artists in a way you don’t see very often. And she’s kept showing music fans that it wasn’t just a time-and-place success story either through the other releases that have come for her over the past 20 years.”
The anniversary of this landmark release will be celebrated with a deluxe edition on CD and LP containing bonus live recordings of every song on the album plus newly expanded artwork. It will land on April 5, 2024. Physical pre-orders commence today, pre-order here.
The Sound Of White 20Year Anniversary Edition will also feature a new track – “Cry Me A River” – which can be heard online now. The classic American torch song was written originally for Ella Fitzgerald and was a hit for Julie London in the 1950’s. Over half a century later Justin Timberlake ‘borrowed’ the title. The tune has a special place in Missy’s heart as it was the first song she ever performed live – sneaking into licensed venues as a 13-year-old to sing it with her older brother’s jazz combo. This stripped back version was recorded at a Sydney charity concert the night before she swept the 2005 ARIA Awards and features her brother, David, on piano. It has always been a fan favourite, but she has never released a recording of “Cry Me A River” … until now.
This smouldering love song kicks off a huge 12 months for Missy as she begins her “Second Act”. The beloved singer/songwriter will start releasing some of her brand-new songs in the lead up to this special two act tour and follow it with her new album later in the year.
“I’m very aware that female artists usually find it hard to get their songs heard in their 30’s or 40’s but I’m determined to try and shake that up a bit”, says Missy. “When I was writing The Sound Of White I was going through the same things as lots of other teenagers and I think that’s probably why those songs have struck such a chord with young people over the years. Life throws some curve balls at all of us as we get a bit older though so I’d like to think that people who grew up with The Sound Of White will find something they can relate to in the new songs as well – even if they probably won’t get to hear them on commercial radio or TikTok.”
Missy Higgins has been nominated for an extraordinary 26 ARIA Awards since being Unearthed by triple j way back in 2002. She remains one of Australia’s most popular live performers; playing to more than 200,000 Australians last summer across various outdoor events including dozens of huge gigs with Paul Kelly.

Missy Higgins to perform at AFLW season opener
Nine-time ARIA Award winning artist Missy Higgins will perform at the pre-match entertainment for the opening game of the 2023 NAB AFLW Season.
The AFL is pleased to announce five-time chart topper and nine-time ARIA Award winning singer-songwriter Missy Higgins will perform in the pre-match entertainment at the opening game of the 2023 NAB AFLW Season on Friday September 1.
Elite women’s football will return to venues across the country this week, with reigning premiers, Melbourne facing Collingwood at IKON Park to kick off a new year of the competition. The action will continue across the weekend, with a further eight games played across six states, including three derby matches with the Showdown between the Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide at Norwood Oval on Saturday September 2, Sydney Swans and GWS GIANTS at North Sydney Oval and Fremantle and West Coast Eagles at Fremantle Oval on Sunday September 3.
Bursting onto the scene in 2004, Missy Higgins has become one of Australia’s most celebrated talents. Her remarkable career boasts multiple ARIA Awards, platinum-selling albums, and a dedicated fan base that spans generations. Higgins’ introspective lyrics and catchy melodies have earned her a special place in the hearts of music enthusiasts across the country.
No stranger to performing on the big stage, Higgins said she was thrilled to be part of the 2023 NAB AFLW season opener, where she will perform a medley of her well-known hits.
“A few years ago, I was really excited to have the opportunity to play at the 2018 AFLW Grand Final but the event was hit with bad weather so unfortunately the musical performances had to be cancelled. This time around, I’m really looking forward to finally getting out there and showing my support for all the AFLW athletes who are playing great footy,” Higgins said.
AFL Executive General Manager Customer and Commercial Kylie Rogers said the league was delighted to have Missy Higgins perform as part of its Round One festivities.
“The AFL is thrilled to have one of the country’s much-loved artists perform at the highly anticipated clash between Melbourne and Collingwood to celebrate the start of the 2023 NAB AFLW Season,” Rogers said.
“Fans can walk up to the gates and secure their tickets on the day, with $10 general admission tickets for adults and FREE entry for kids under 18.
“With great entertainment, affordable entry and a host of activities on offer, there’s no better time for fans of all ages to come along and experience the best of women’s football for Round One of the 2023 NAB AFLW Season.”
In addition to the pre-match performance, fans can enjoy a host of activities at IKON Park, including a meet and greets with club mascots, food trucks, giveaways and the unfurling of the 2022 NAB AFLW Premiership flag in a pre-match ceremony.
Fans who attend the game will also go into the draw to win two tickets to the 2023 Toyota AFL Grand Final on September 30 and two tickets to the 2023 NAB AFLW Grand Final held on December 3*.

Missy Higgins to play Night At The Barracks
Missy Higgins to play solo set with The Waifs at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on Saturday June 3rd
Hi Friends
Hellooooo, guess what… I’m jumping on stage to do a solo set for my good friends The Waifs, as part of their special 20th anniversary tour, in Melbourne at The Palais Theatre on Saturday June 3rd! I’ve had the pleasure of sharing the stage with these guys so many times over the years, in fact they were the first ever band I opened for on a national tour wayyyyy back in the day. So very grateful for their support in those early days as I tried to convince all their fans to buy my first EP and sign up to my mailing list 😂 This will be very fun and a big throwback to when I opened for them at The Palais back in 2003.
Sign up to my newsletter for access to pre-sale tickets tomorrow morning: www.missyhiggins.com/mailing-list
Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10am on Friday April 21.

‘EDGE OF SOMETHING’ NOMINATED FOR APRA/AMCOS SONG OF THE YEAR
Wow very honoured to be nominated for @apraamcos song of the year for Edge Of Something, a song I wrote with @antonypartos and @matteozingalesofficial for the @abctv drama Total Control. Writing songs for both seasons of this incredible show over the course of all the lockdowns was such a special experience and I’m so grateful for the opportunity. Especially thankful to Deborah Mailman, the lead actor, whose performances made it so easy to write to, I was constantly blown away by her portrayal of her character and could have written a hundred more songs just exploring her complexity and strength. I’m so proud of this song. Thank you to everyone who voted
