Missy Higgins will perform in Australia's first concert simulcast live online and over a 3G network, according to Telstra.

Following the national tour of her No. 1 album On A Clear Night, the Aussie singer-songwriter's "intimate gig" will be streamed live on Monday via Telstra's 3G and Next G mobile networks, as well as on the Web.

The concert is available on Telstra's BigPond TV site for free and on Telstra's 3G mobile networks for a AU$1 fee.

On A Clear Night can be downloaded through BigPond Music for AU$16.50 or AU$15 for BigPond subscribers. Missy Higgins is currently signed to EMI, which today made available DRM-free music downloads through Apple's iTunes Store for AU$2.19 per track.

The concert will be simulcast from the Basement in Sydney at 7.30pm (AEST) on 4 June.
