MISSY HIGGINS
with special guest BEN LEE
Thursday April 15 and Friday April 16 2021 - NOTE NEW DATES
FREMANTLE PRISON
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
PATRONS MUST BYO SINGLE FOLD UP CHAIR TO THIS EVENT.
Due to the overwhelming response from patrons about not being able to bring a chair, we have worked closely with our site crew overnight to determine what can be done. To that end, patrons must now BYO single fold up chair. Please do NOT bring large couch style chairs, beanbags, low back chairs or picnic blankets.
We listened to you and we understand that you want to BYO chairs! Thanks for your patience. Note that we can no longer provide chairs - please BYO chair, as standing will not be allowed.
WHY WAS THE SEATING ARRANGEMENT CHANGED IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Originally, we had to comply with COVID rules that prevented us from allowing people to bring a chair. The only option was to provide patrons with a plastic pippie chair. To us, that didnt seem right, as these chairs are thin and extremely uncomfortable. Also, we have staged many concerts at Fremantle Prison, and alot of them were “standing” shows (Xavier Rudd, Tex Perkins, Birds of Tokyo etc). We honestly thought patrons would prefer to stand (pub concert style) rather than sit in plastic chairs. Boy, did we get that wrong! The bottom line is that we have listened to our patrons and we have decided we will allow patrons to BYO single fold up chair.
Please note that there are some undulating surfaces at Fremantle Prison - some grassed areas and some concrete pathway areas. Ushers will be on hand to assist in getting you seated so everyone can be seated comfortably. As this is not a reserved seating arrangement, its first in, best dressed.
We sincerely apologise for any confusion. We hope you enjoy the show!

More serious live music returns to Fremantle!
MISSY HIGGINS will play these very special concert events under the stars at the historic Fremantle Prison, on Thursday April 15 and Friday April 16 2021.
Australian singer/songwriter Missy Higgins has enjoyed phenomenal success with her irresistible melodies and ‘arrow through the heart’ lyrics, delivered by a striking voice that clearly means it. After touring the globe with her undeniable songs and unforgettable live performances, Missy’s highly acclaimed albums ‘The Sound Of White’ (ARIA Album Of The Year featuring the hits ‘Scar’, ‘Ten Days’ and ‘The Special Two’), ‘On A Clear Night’ (featuring North American Top 20 airplay hit ‘Where I Stood’ plus Australian #1 single ‘Steer’), ‘The Ol’ Razzle Dazzle’ (featuring ‘Everyone’s Waiting’ and ‘Hello Hello’) and ‘Solastalgia’ (featuring radio favourite ‘Futon Couch’) have sold over two million copies globally.
In 2019, Missy embarked on the Coming Home Tour, a national co-headlining tour of Australia with John Butler Trio+ at venues including Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne, as well as two sold-out shows at the Sydney Opera House forecourt. She also wrote a number of original songs for the acclaimed ABC TV show ‘Total Control’. The show became the highest rated new Australian TV drama of the year. Missy began 2020 by releasing new single ‘Carry You’ written by Tim Minchin for his TV show ‘Upright’, which peaked at #5 in iTunes.

Take a visual journey back in time in the Main Cell Block where you can view life as it was for both convicts and prisoners. Discover how time was passed in the yards, while marvelling at original prisoner works of art. With a whipping post, gallows and solitary cells, Fremantle Prison is a monument to a system of punishment that is uncomfortably recent. Pray for redemption in the chapel and laugh as our entertaining guides show you the lighter side of Prison humour! Then get ready for the awesome MISSY HIGGINS live in concert under the stars in the courtyard of the Fremantle Prison.
