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, unforgettable live concerts, plus classic songs like ‘Scar’, ‘The Special Two’, ‘Steer’, ‘Everyone’s Waiting’, ‘Futon Couch’ and ‘A Complicated Truth’.

Missy has blazed a trail for female singer/songwriters in Australia, marching to her own drumbeat, earning 32 ARIA Award nominations and seven ARIA #1’s (so far!).

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 She also hit the road across 2024 with The Second Act Tour which won the publicly voted ARIA Award for Best Live Act on a night when Missy was inducted into the ARIA Hall Of Fame.

That transformative year was followed in 2025 by headline appearance on some of Australia’s leading festivals and placing twice in triple j’s Hottest 100 of Australian Songs including ‘Scar’ at #4.

Missy is nominated for 4 more ARIA Awards in 2025 including Album Of The Year. She is also a finalist in the ‘Songwriter’ and ‘Australian Artistic Excellence’ categories at the Australian Women in Music Awards cementing her place as an artist of singular and enduring influence to multiple generations.

In early 2026 Missy will join Paul Kelly to tour right around Australia on the Red Hot Summer Tour with guests, The Cruel Sea, The Cat Empire, Kasey Chambers and Jess Hitchcock.
