The news of Missy Higgins’ national tour in support of the release of her fifth studio album, Solastalgia, has filled the country with excitement, with shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Wollongong and Canberra all selling out as soon as they went on sale. Frontier Touring are thrilled to announce that, in order to meet such an overwhelming response, additional shows have been added in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
Fans of the iconic singer-songwriter will now have the chance to see her perform live in Brisbane at the QPAC Concert Hall on Wednesday 2 May, in Sydney at the Enmore Theatre on Monday 7 May, and in Melbourne at the Palais Theatre on Monday 14 May. Limited tickets are still available to Missy’s shows in Toowoomba on Saturday 5 May and in Adelaide on Saturday 12 May. She will be joined at all shows by special guest Gordi.
It’s safe to say that Australia is buzzing about Missy’s return to music, with each of her records returning once again to the iTunes album charts. In fact, The Sound of White has already reached the top 25, and is still climbing. She currently has five tracks in iTunes singles chart, including current single ‘Futon Couch’, which has also made it to #2 on the alternative chart. To top it all off, her back catalogue has also garnered more than 2.5 million streams on Spotify in the last month.

‘The halfway point of Missy’s set sent shivers down my spine and was a moment this Melbourne crowd should truly feel privileged to have witnessed.’ – The AU Review
‘The unmistakable, heart-aching personal touch that Higgins adds to every one of her songs is still ever so strong.’ – Music Feeds
.
Higgins’ highly-acclaimed albums The Sound of White (ARIA Album Of The Year featuring hit singles ‘Scar’ and ‘The Special Two’), On A Clear Night (featuring North American gold selling single ‘Where I Stood’ and ‘Steer’) and The Ol’ Razzle Dazzle (#1 album featuring ‘Everyone’s Waiting’ and ‘Hello Hello’) have sold over two million units globally. She has appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone Australia twice, she is a five-time chart topper, and a nine-time ARIA Award winner.
Higgins’ success continued with the release of OZ, a collection of Aussie cover versions accompanied by a quirky book of related essays. In recent years, Higgins has also released standalone singles ‘Oh Canada’, inspired by the tragic images of infant Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi, and ‘Torchlight’, written for Australian film Don’t Tell (winner of Best Original Song Composed for the Screen at the 2017 Screen Music Awards).
Higgins first original album in six years – Solastalgia – is set for release May 4, and is available for pre-order now. The eagerly anticipated set will feature current hit single ‘Futon Couch’, and sees Higgins explore fresh territory both sonically and lyrically.

“I’m so excited to finally road-test my new tunes in all these beautiful venues across the country. This album is really different from anything I’ve done before, I think people will be really surprised, but I think the songs will fit nicely alongside my old material, too. There are a lot of female harmonies in the new material so I’m glad we’re gonna have four amazing women on stage belting them out!” – Missy Higgins
.
Joining Higgins at all shows will be special guest Gordi, who released her debut album Reservoir in the second half of last year. Produced by Gordi and co-produced alongside Tim Anderson (Solange, Banks, Halsey), Ali Chant (Perfume Genius, PJ Harvey) and Alex Somers (Sigur Ros), the record is taking the world by storm. Having toured alongside Asgeir, Bon Iver, Tallest Man on Earth and Highasakite, the 24-year old artist from Canowindra is quickly becoming one of Australia’s most buzzed about songwriters.
Higgins is currently on the road with international superstar Ed Sheeran as special guest on his Australian stadium tour, with sold-out shows still to come in Sydney and Brisbane. When the tour comes to a close, she will have played to almost a million people across the country. In addition to these stadium dates, Missy will also perform a stripped down show at the Blue Mountains Music Festival on March 18 and a full band gig on Cottesloe Beach in Perth on April 8, for which tickets are already on sale.
As one of Australia’s greatest singer-songwriters and most popular live performers, it’s no surprise that so many of Missy’s shows have already sold out. Fans are encouraged to purchase tickets to these newly added concerts without delay to avoid disappointment.
