Following their electrifying and intimate underplay performance at New York City’s legendary Bowery Ballroom earlier this week, GRAMMY® Award-winning rock band Greta Van Fleet officially return today with their explosive new single and music video, “Play Your Games” — the first taste of what signals a powerful new age for the band.
Recorded and co-produced in Tennessee by the band alongside acclaimed producer Mike Elizondo (Fiona Apple, Turnstile, Sheryl Crow), “Play Your Games” captures Greta Van Fleet at their most raw, irreverent and instinctive. Inspired by one of their oldest demos from the band’s revisited archives, the track channels the spirit of their earliest days — loud, fearless and untamed.
Written by the band, “Play Your Games” leads the charge with swagger, chaos and sharp-edged charm, feeling like a nod to the band’s formative years performing in small clubs in their hometown of Frankenmuth, Michigan. Jake Kiszka explains. “It’s this beautiful nature of seizing a moment.”
Accompanied by an official music video produced and directed by MOONBASE ®, the visual further expands the band’s evolving world, marking Greta Van Fleet’s first new music since stepping away from the limelight, offering fans an exciting glimpse into where they are headed next.
The release arrives just days after the band stunned fans and critics with a sweat-drenched, sold-out underplay show at Bowery Ballroom, reigniting anticipation around their return and reminding audiences why Greta Van Fleet remain one of rock music’s most compelling live forces. Josh shares, “to take the stage again and share new music feels profoundly emotional and exciting. To see people singing and celebrating in this moment is a reminder of the power of music, and there’s so much more to come.”
After igniting excitement and anticipation across the world with the recent news of their return, Greta Van Fleet will take over New York City’s legendary Bowery Ballroom for an intimate, one-night-only performance on Wednesday, May 27.
A rare underplay from one of the world’s most electrifying live bands who last played in New York City to a sold-out crowd in Madison Square Garden. Tickets for the exclusive event will be available via in-person purchase only beginning Tuesday, May 26 at 9:00 AM at the Bowery Ballroom box office. With demand expected to be high, their performance is poised to become one of the most talked-about shows of 2026.
Following the last several years headlining arenas, topping charts, and carrying the torch for a new generation of rock and roll, the return to a room as intimate and storied as Bowery Ballroom signals something deeper than a concert — it’s a statement, igniting a new and exciting chapter for the GRAMMY® Award winning Nashville-based four-piece.
Since emerging from Michigan and exploding onto the global stage, Greta Van Fleet have become one of the defining rock bands of their generation: a group equally embraced by lifelong rock purists and a younger audience rediscovering the power, freedom, and spectacle of the genre. Their ascent has been marked by platinum-selling records, GRAMMY® wins, huge international arena and stadium tours, and a reputation for delivering live performances with the kind of musicianship and emotional release that plays into the history books and cultural mythology of the legendary bands before them.
Their upcoming Bowery Ballroom performance offers fans a rare chance to experience Greta Van Fleet up close and personal. In an era increasingly dominated by algorithms and disposable culture, Greta Van Fleet continue to stand apart as a band committed to the timeless ideals, transcendence, theatricality, musicianship, rebellion, and human connection that comes hand in hand with rock and roll.

Grammy-winning rockers GRETA VAN FLEET are sharing their new track “The Falling Sky.” listen HERE and watch/share the visualizer HERE. Additionally, the band is sharing the live performance video for the track filmed at their Sacramento show on the Dreams in Gold Tour in March; 2023; watch/share the performance HERE.
The track is debuting on Apple Music 1’s “TheZane Lowe Show,” which can be heard HERE. “An unwavering warrior carrying on the endless, eternal, and impossible battle for salvation; these were the elements of symbolism associated with this particular track,” explains guitarist Jake Kiszka. “In essence our fate is sealed, alike the stars that fall from the almighty heavens to the earth. This philosophy is carried through in the story of a bluesman, at the crossroads of the universe.”
“The Falling Sky” is the latest track to be unveiled from the band’s highly anticipated forthcoming third studio album Starcatcher, due July 21 on Lava/Republic Records. The new track follows the release of “Meeting The Master,” “Sacred The Thread” and “Farewell For Now;” Consequence hails “‘Farewell for Now’ shows Greta Van Fleet’s softer side in a very retro-sounding ballad.” Of “Meeting The Master,” Uproxx notes that “‘Meeting the Master’ [is] an existential new single on which lead vocalist Josh Kiszka embarks on a spiritual journey;” pre-save/pre-order StarcatcherHERE.
Additionally, the band is launching a new puzzle box, available for pre-order HERE. In celebration of the new album, there will be several vinyl variants including an exclusive black glitter vinyl, available for pre-order HERE. The band is also offering a red glitter vinyl, exclusive to Target, as well as an opaque vinyl available at select record stores across the country.
Next month the band is set to kick off their Starcatcher World Tour on July 24 in Nashville at the Bridgestone Arena. The tour, produced by Live Nation, includes stops at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York and The Forum in Los Angeles as well as London’s OVO Arena Wembley and more; see below for a complete list of dates. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased HERE. The Starcatcher World Tour includes support from special guests Kaleo, Surf Curse, Mt. Joy and Black Honey. Greta Van Fleet will also be touring throughout Europe, starting in Hamburg, Germany on November 6 with further international stops in Paris, Madrid, Amsterdam and more.
Starcatcher is written and recorded by the band—lead singer Josh Kiszka, guitarist Jake Kiszka, bassist/keyboardist Sam Kiszka and drummer Danny Wagner—alongside Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile). Recorded at the legendary RCA Studios in Nashville, the band utilized the large recording room to capture the pure energy of their world-renowned live performances. “We didn’t really have to force or be intense about writing, because everything that happened was very instinctual,” Jake says. “If anything, the record is our perspective, and sums up where we are as a group and individually as musicians.”
Throughout the ten-song collection the band explores the duality of fantasy versus reality and the contrast between light and darkness. “We had this idea that we wanted to tell these stories to build a universe,” says Wagner. “We wanted to introduce characters and motifs and these ideas that would come about here and there throughout our careers through this world.”
The band took multiple concepts from critically acclaimed sophomore album The Battle at Garden’s Gate and brought them into Starcatcher, although Sam’s take on the new record’s big ideas hint instead at new beginnings. “When I imagine the world of Starcatcher, I think of the cosmos,” he says. “It makes me ask a lot of questions, like ‘Where did we come from?’ or ‘What are we doing here?’ But it’s also questions like, ‘What is this consciousness that we have, and where did it come from?’”
The band is best known for their renowned live performances, selling over one milliontickets worldwide. They sold out their entire 2022 arena tour, holding a special energy between them and their devoted fans. With Starcatcher the band aims to capture that energy in the recording studio.
Most recently, the band performed at the inaugural Lollapalooza Mumbai and completed an extensive U.S. arena tour in March. Last month, Greta Van Fleet played at Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta and the Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis.
Starcatcher follows their acclaimed sophomore album The Battle at Garden’s Gate, released in 2021 to extensive chart and critical success. The album debuted at #1 Billboard Rock Album, #1 Billboard Hard Rock Album, #1 Billboard Vinyl Album, #2 Billboard Top Album Sales and in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200. Their From The Fires EP, released in 2017, won Best Rock Album at the 61st Grammy Awards. Forming in Frankenmuth, Michigan in 2012, Greta Van Fleet consists of three brothers—vocalist Josh Kiszka, guitarist Jake Kiszka and bassist/keyboardist Sam Kiszka—as well as drummer Danny Wagner. Together they have performed across multiple continents, sold over 3.5 million records worldwide and performed on late night television shows such as “Saturday Night Live,” “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

“On ‘Farewell For Now’ we express the sentiment of our longing to stay on stage and savor the magic created by the audience-music phenomena,” notes bassist Sam Kiszka. “But we must pack up and go to the next place to do it all over again; as always, we’ll be back soon.”

The bands notes, “‘Meeting The Master’ peers into an esoteric world heeded by the word of a wise teacher.
