Aussie music icons JOHN BUTLER TRIO and MISSY HIGGINS will be joining forces in January and February for a massive national tour – including two a day on the green concerts.
Billed as the Coming Home tour, the name reflects both the title of John’s imminent new album and the fact that it will finally reunite two artists whose early careers were closely intertwined.
In 2004 Missy was supporting JOHN BUTLER TRIO at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on the night that her debut hit ‘Scar’ went to number one and a few months later they were pivotal early drivers for the “Wave Aid” tsunami benefit show at the SCG. The pair won their first ARIA Awards as Best Male and Best Female artists in 2004 and 2005 respectively and even shared their first Rolling Stone cover together. Since those early days, John and Missy have done numerous benefit gigs together and have stood side-by-side in several environmental campaigns but this will be their first national tour together in nearly 15 years.
For the a day on the green events, they will be joined by special guests DAN SULTAN and upcoming singer songwriter STELLA DONNELLY.
Together, JOHN BUTLER TRIO and MISSY HIGGINS have created the soundtracks to countless lives as two of Australia’s most treasured singer songwriters. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to witness them both live and in full effect, reunited once more to tour the country for a once-in-a-lifetime show.
