Greta Van Fleet announces new tour dates that include a stop in Kelowna

With their sold out spring tour set to begin next week, Greta Van Fleet has announced 42 new summer and fall tour dates that will see the band wind through Canada and the United States.

Although the big-name band will be playing shows at major venues like Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Rogers Place in Edmonton and Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, they will also be making a stop here in the Okanagan.

Greta Van Fleet will be in Kelowna for a show at Prospera Place on Monday, Aug. 29, with The Pretty Reckless and Hannah Wicklund joining them as support.

Tickets go on sale on Friday, March 4 at noon and are available through this link. Fans looking to get their hands on presale tickets starting Wednesday can sign up here.

The group is touring in support of their sophomore album The Battle at Garden’s Gate, which was released in April 2021.

It debuted in the number one spot on the Billboard charts for rock albums, hard rock albums and vinyl albums, and also hit the number two spot on the Billboard top album sales chart.

The band’s album From the Fires won a Grammy in 2019 for Best Rock Album.

Greta Van Fleet was formed in Frakenmuth, Mich. by twins Josh and Jake Kiszka, their younger brother Sam and friend Danny Wagner back in 2012.

They were signed to Lava Record in March 2017 and burst onto the scene in the months that followed with smash singles like “Highway Tune,” “Safari Song,” “When the Curtain Falls” and “You’re the One,” all of which hit number one on the US rock charts.

After visiting some American cities this spring and Europe early in the summer, Greta Van Fleet’s newly-announced North American leg of the tour will begin in Buffalo on Aug. 11 and wrap up in Sacramento on Nov. 12.
