Greta Van Fleet, hard-rock’s biggest young band, sets Alabama concert

Three top-10 albums, eight top-10 singles (including four number-ones), arena-headlining tours, millions of social media followers, more than a billion streams, and a Grammy. All done while everyone in the band’s still between the ages of 24 and 27.

Greta Van Fleet is the biggest young hard-rock band in the world.

And next year, they’re bringing a world tour supporting their latest hit album, “Starcatcher,” to Alabama. The Nashville-via-Michigan band will perform at Huntsville’s Orion Amphitheater on May 8.

Tickets ($50 – $150 plus fees) go on sale 10 a.m. Oct. 27 via theorionhuntsville.com.

Greta Van Fleet’s sound combines rock, folk, prog, world-music and blues. Signature songs include “Highway Tune,” “Safari Song,” “When The Curtain Falls,” “Light My Love,” “Lover, Leaver” and “Heat Above.” Tracks like “My Way, Soon,” “Built By Nations” and “The Cold Wind” are also among the group’s best.

Banshee-voiced, catsuit-wearing singer Josh Kiszka fronts the band. His twin brother Jake Kiszka is their resident, Gibson-slinging guitar deity. Younger brother Sam Kiszka toggles between bass and an array of keyboards. Kiszka family friend Danny Wagner is on drums.

Greta Van Fleet released “Starcatcher,” their third full-length album, this summer. Every track’s been streamed millions of times each, including more than 15 million for windswept opus “Meeting The Master.”

The support act for Greta Van Fleet’s Orion Amphitheater is New York post-punk band Geese, known for jangly, arty and smart songs like 2023 single “Cowboy Nudes.”

And all the nobodies who’ve hated on Greta Van Fleet for echoing the legendary Led Zeppelin? They’re still nobodies.
