Staff Writer

Due to unforeseen TV scheduling conflicts.

Missy Higgins

Acclaimed Queensland festival Birdsville Big Red Bash has announced that in-demand actress and musician Jessica Mauboy is no longer able to make the Big Red Dune next July due to unforeseen TV scheduling conflicts.

As such, venerated Aussie singer-songwriter Missy Higgins will now join the likes of James Reyne, Mark Seymour, Lee Kernaghan, Kate Ceberano, Ray Ryder and more in outback Queensland from 4 - 6 July.

“I'm so excited to play this gig - to get out into the Australian desert, get some red soil on my feet and share a stage with so many incredible country artists. It's going be fun, yeehaw!” Higgins said.

Higgins will be dishing up new music, while headliner Kernaghan celebrates 25 years in the biz.
