Passenger announces star-studded Brighton open-air concert line-up

Published on

British singer-songwriter Passenger will headline a large outdoor concert in Brighton next year, featuring an impressive collection of performers.

The artist behind the hit Let Her Go, whose full name is Mike Rosenberg, is scheduled to appear at Hove Park on September 6, 2026.

Tickets can be bought through passengerbrighton.com.

Supporting him at this event will be several acclaimed acts, among them indie-folk group The Staves, who are celebrated for their family vocal harmonies and recent work including the album All Now.

Award-winning folk musician John Smith will also take to the stage, having accumulated over 125 million streams on Spotify and performed alongside artists such as Joan Baez, Jackson Browne and David Gray.

Alt-pop and country performer Ber, who has built an international audience following the release of her first record Good, Like It Should Be, rounds out the bill.

Also appearing is Brighton-area artist Chris Simmons, who has previously toured with Sir Tom Jones, Paloma Faith and Simply Red.

Recently the musician achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first independent artist to enter the UK Christmas Top 10 with the track A Cold December.

This show represents Passenger’s comeback to the city where he first gained recognition performing on the streets.

The artist, now working independently with sixteen full-length releases, has collected numerous awards and platinum-selling records.

His breakthrough single Let Her Go, featured on the album All The Little Lights, topped charts in 19 different countries and remains one of the most frequently identified songs on Shazam worldwide, amassing billions of listens.

Other achievements include a Brit Award nomination, an Ivor Novello Award for Most Performed Work, and more recently a nomination at the Olivier Musical Awards for his contributions to The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry stage production.

Organised by JOY. Concerts in association with BBC Radio Sussex, the Hove Park concert provides a distinctive opportunity to witness Passenger perform in an open-air environment.

This represents an uncommon chance to experience the popular British musician live, with the evening set to feature beloved tracks and audience favourites.

The selected performers are expected to deliver a night of entertainment that will satisfy concert-goers while embracing the special ambiance of this eagerly awaited summer event.
