Passenger

Passenger shoots to number one with Let Her Go

"When I started music, when I was a kid, you know, you have all these dreams of being number one and all this crazy shit, and over the course of time you just kind of let go of a lot of that stuff because you realise that, actually, I play kind of melancholic folk music that’s probably not going to get to number one, you know."

Passenger is a dark horse in the singles chart

“I’ve been coming here for three or four years now and spending a lot of time here – sort of six months here and six months in the UK generally in a year – and just built it up really, really slowly in Australia, and I love it here."

Three new dates have been announced for the much-loved singer-songwriter.
