Enjoy one of Australia's most enduring songwriters

Missy Higgins broke through as a teenager with Triple J Unearthed before going on to become a five-time ARIA number one artist and a 2024 inductee into the ARIA Hall of Fame. From Scar to Where I Stood to Futon Couch and The Second Act her songs have shaped the soundtracks of generations.

With just one Sydney date on the cards for 2026, this is a rare chance to see her live on the harbour at Fleet Steps.
