This uniquely evocative live show celebrates the 20th anniversary of The Sound Of White with Missy performing that landmark album in its entirety after a stripped-back opening set featuring songs from her latest album, The Second Act, which debuted at number one on the ARIA charts.

These performances mark Missy’s first time headlining a day on the green since 2006.
The Second Act Tour – Final Encore Shows will include some of Missy’s high-profile musical friends as special guests – Missy will be joined by KATE MILLER-HEIDKE and RUBY FIELDS in South Australia.

“I never imagined it would take me most of 2024 to do this Australian tour,” Missy confesses, “but it’s been such a great experience on every level that I’m glad the band and I will get to share it a few more times with all these big crowds. There have been lots of fans posting about how disappointed they were to miss out on getting a chance to see this two-act show so now they’ll have no excuse!”
