## Key points

- Greta Van Fleet says its crowds have become younger and more diverse.
- Josh Kiszka links the change to young listeners discovering rock through peers.
- The band plans arena dates, including a May show at London’s O2.

## Summary

Greta Van Fleet singer Josh Kiszka says the band’s audiences have grown younger and more varied since its early major shows, when older male fans in Led Zeppelin shirts were prominent. He sees the shift as evidence that younger listeners are embracing classic rock when they hear it performed by musicians their own age.

At Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena in 2023, Kiszka recalls younger fans in glitter and sequins, alongside parents and grandparents; he says the band sees this mix across venues. The group, whose members are around 30, released its latest album, *Palace for the People*, in October and plans an arena tour starting in February, with UK and European dates including London’s O2 Arena in May. It has also pledged to sell tickets at face value plus fees, with no platinum tickets.
