Greta Van Fleet calm breakup rumours with $20 New York City show announcement
Earlier this month, the Greta Van Fleet left their fandom in shambles after posting a cryptic “thank you” message on social media, which led many to believe the band might be calling it quits.
A few days later, the Michigan quartet moved quickly to shut that speculation down with a studio clip captioned “We’re back, baby!”, showing the members working on new material and confirming they were still very much active.
Now, the group have followed that up with an even more concrete statement of intent: a one-off intimate show at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom on 27 May.

The 600-capacity venue marks a dramatic step down in scale from their previous New York headline show at Madison Square Garden, offering fans a rare chance to see the band in a much smaller setting.
Tickets will be sold in person only at the Bowery Ballroom box office from 26 May at 9am ET, priced at $20 with a strict two-ticket limit per person.
The show will be Greta Van Fleet’s first live performance since wrapping their 2024 tour in support of their most recent album, 2023’s Starcatcher.

In related news, Greta Van Fleet guitarist Jake Kiszka has recently partnered with Gibson on a limited-edition production run SG Standard modelled after his well-worn 1961 Les Paul SG.
Handcrafted in Nashville and released in strictly limited numbers, the model pays tribute to Kiszka’s “Beloved” guitar, capturing its double-cutaway design and vintage-spec details.
Recalling the moment he discovered the instrument while the band were still early in their career, Kiszka said, “It was maybe a decade ago now, about 10 years ago, Greta Van Fleet was leaving Michigan for the first time…I was looking through all these guitars, and we were trying to pick up some gear if we could, some serious, good gear.”
“I stumbled upon this one,” he continued, “I was just immediately mesmerised. Immediately, from the first strum, it was like a lightning bolt just hit me from above.”
