Passenger to tour Australia with full band

With his new album Young As The Morning Old As The Sea set for release on September 23rd, UK singer/songwriter Passenger has announced an Australian headline tour starting on Friday 20th January, 2017. Known for holding the attention of thousands of fans at any given live show with only his distinct voice, engaging storytelling and acoustic guitar, Passenger has also revealed that for the first time he’ll be joined by a full, four-piece band.  Full list of dates & supports are below.  

Since the announcement of the forthcoming album, Passenger has been busking all over the UK and Europe, and broadcasting these events live to his 3.6 Million Facebook fans. Most recently he appeared on stage at the Osheaga Music and Arts Festival inMontreal and Edmonton Folk Festival and sold out shows across North America.

Young As The Morning Old As The Sea sees Mike Rosenberg, aka Passenger, once again co-produce alongside Chris Vallejo (INXS, Empire of the Sun), this time at Neil Finn’s Roundhead Studios in Auckland, as well as Linear studios in Sydney. The epic landscapes in both New Zealand and on a recent trip Mike took to Iceland lent inspiration to create a newly panoramic album, with themes of relationships and the passing of time that are at once personal and universal. The album was written alongside an incredible band of musicians – Ben Edgar (guitar), Rob Calder (bass), Peter Marin (drums) Jon Solo (keys).

Passenger has seen massive worldwide success since the release of multi-platinum “Let Her Go” from album All The Little Lights. The accompanying video just joined YouTube’selite The Billion View Club, only the 23rd music video to do so. Passenger releasedWhispers in 2014, which debuted at #12 on the Billboard 200. He spent the next two years playing sold-out shows and large festivals across the world. 

Aussie folk rock group The Paper Kites will be supporting Passenger on all dates.
