2024 was a huge year for Missy with the release of her new album The Second Act - “a kind of sequel” to her hugely influential debut The Sound Of White. She also hit the road across 2024 with The Second Act Tour which won the publicly voted ARIA Award for Best Live Act on a night when Missy was inducted into the ARIA Hall Of Fame.
That transformative year was followed in 2025 headlining some of Australia’s leading festivals and placing twice in triple j’s Hottest 100 of Australian Songs including ‘Scar’ at #4. Missy also won her 12th ARIA Award for The Second Act and was awarded ‘Songwriter of the Year’ at the Australian Women in Music Awards cementing her place as an artist of singular and enduring influence to multiple generations.
We are so excited to welcome Missy to Phillip Island this summer!
tHE living end
The Living End are one of Australia’s most formidable and essential rock bands. Since their formation in the suburbs of Melbourne by childhood friends Chris Cheney (vocals, guitar) and Scott Owen (double bass, vocals) in 1994, the band have honed a sound that draws influence from punk, rockabilly, ska and straight up, balls to the wall rock n roll.
Having created early buzz with their EPs Hellbound and It’s For Your Own Good, the band shot to fame in 1997 with the release of their double A-side single, Second Solution/Prisoner of Society, which peaked at No. 4 on the Australian Singles Chart and racked up triple platinum sales. Their self-titled debut album followed soon after, winning the band Breakthrough Artist – Album and Best Group awards at the 1998 ARIA Awards and went on to become one of the highest selling debut rock albums in Australian history.
Since then the band have gone on to release a further eight studio albums, adding songs like “White Noise”, “Roll On” and “Wake Up” to the canon of classic Australian songs, and toured their blistering live show relentlessly both in Australia and around the world, earning the trio the enviable position of one of the country’s greatest live bands in the process.

Born in Melbourne, with a dream to impact the world, the Disco Faith Choir was the blessing of Sunshine- one of the city’s renowned DJ and producers, who was raised on the dancefloor and found community on the dancefloor. Her music has spread to the masses over the last two decades, from soul moving house music and disco to the depths of the techno hues dance floor devotees love and adore.
