STREAM/PURCHASE RUNAWAY HERE
The British
singer-songwriter will play a show in Auckland, as well as all major cities in
Australia to showcase his forthcoming album.
Kicking off at Auckland’s Powerstation on Tuesday, November 13, Passenger will then
hit Australian shores to play shows in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide
and Perth.
Runaway finds Passenger embracing the epic once
again - the melodies are unforgettable, the choruses colossal. Even though it
was recorded between the UK and Australia with co-producer, Chris Vallejo (INXS, Empire Of The Sun, Josh Pyke), the 10-track
album was imagined as unfolding against a backdrop of American landscapes. And
so, rather than the follow usual video process in studios or track-by-track, he
and video director Jarrad
Seng spent three weeks making videos across the US to
capture the visual accompaniments to the aural landscapes.
The video for
Runaway reflects this beautifully,
seeing Rosenberg run
through breathtaking landscapes in the US; from the city to the countryside
before entering coastal and forest terrain.

Rosenberg says he is excited by the idea of hitting the
road again – solo, this time after hebrought in a full band for 2017’s ‘Young As The Morning’
tour. And he’s still busking, launching
Runaway in Europe with a series of
busking appearances with more to come.
“Years ago, it was just me and
a suitcase of CDs,” he smiles
. “We used to get 50 people. Now it’s stage, a soundman,
telling councils in advance. We might play to 3,000 people. But busking is
something we’ve always done, a unique part of what Passenger is.” Don’t miss your chance to catch Passenger live,
