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.

2019 saw Boy & Bears triumphant return to the international touring circuit to promote the release of their album ‘Suck on Light’ which was rated by triple j’s Richard Kingsmill in his top 10 albums of the year.  An acoustic album of some of their favourite tracks followed in September 2020, with the band returning to the studio to write more music and work on new creative pursuits they have in the pipeline.  Celebrated for their unique sound, rich harmonies, and trademark warmth and charisma, Boy & Bear take to stages around Australia late summer delivering the musicianship and connection that their live audiences have come to love throughout their career.

“We cannot wait to be playing together again, alongside other great Australian live bands, in what will be the biggest outdoor Australian tour this summer” said Dave Hosking.

The pedigree and musicianship of L.A.B is undeniable.  L.A.B was founded by the legendary Kora brothers.  The L.A.B sound is one which has seen them quickly become a fan favourite on the live circuit – trademark Kora grooves combining with Adams-Tamatea’s reggae/dub experience, and Shadbolt’s blues roots to create a sound entirely their own.  Each member brings their own individual styles to the table & the result is an eclectic mix of reggae, electronic, blues, funk, and reggae, even heading into country at points.

Since their inception, L.A.B have already performed at almost every major festival across NZ, alongside multiple sold-out headline tours of Australia.  Released in November 2017, L.A.B’s self-titled debut showcased the multiple sides to the L.A.B sound.  Upon its release, the album went straight to No. 1 on the iTunes Album Charts, has spent over 100 weeks in the New Zealand Top 20 Album charts since release, and has been certified Platinum.  The second album is, as the title suggests, the second chapter in the L.A.B story, seeing a further 12 genre-bending tracks, and showing a band further honing their eclectic sound.  Since release, the album has spent over 80 weeks in the New Zealand Top 20 Album charts and has also been certified Gold.  Summer 2019 saw the band perform massive festival slots at One Love, Rhythm & Vines and Soundsplash.
