Greta Van Fleet are the critically-acclaimed rock band heading to the UK. Coming to Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on 20th November 2023.
Greta Van Fleet have announced UK shows in November. Performing in London, Manchester and Glasgow in support of their third studio album Starcatcher. Their forthcoming LP is set for release 21 July.
Catapulting the golden age of classic rock into the 21st century – with the hair and garb along with it. In a short space of time Greta Van Fleet have mirrored the success of their predecessors with stadium-filling tours. As well as Grammy awards and chart-toppings albums.
Formed in Frankenmuth, Michigan in 2012. Greta Van Fleet are made up of brothers Josh (vocals), Jake (guitars) and Sam Kiszka (bass/keys). Alongside old friend Danny Wagner on the drums. Their 2017 double EP From The Fires contained their debut single ‘Highway Tune’. Which immediately made clear the band’s love for bluesy, vintage 70s rock. The LP also featured rippers such as ‘Safari Song’ and ‘Black Smoke Rising’, tracks that were influential in the release’s Best Rock Album at the 2019 Grammys.
After being invited to support fellow Michigan rocker Bob Seger, as well as play for Elton John at one of his famous parties, the band released their debut studio album Anthem of the Peaceful Party in October 2018. Its lead single was the punchy ‘When The Curtain Falls’, which they premiered on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Reaching No.3 on the Billboard 200, the album also featured the likes of folky ballad ‘You’re The One’ and the hard rock ‘Lover, Leaver.’

In 2022 the band performed extensively around the world with their Dreams In Gold tour.
