The album currently sits atop Billboard’s Top Rock Albums, Top Hard Rock Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums.
Greta Van Fleet’s new studio album Starcatcher, has debuted at the top of multiple Billboard charts.
Released through Lava/Republic Records, the new record bowed at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 chart, but debuts at the top of the Top Rock Albums, Top Hard Rock Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums, plus it is charting internationally in Germany (No.2), Switzerland (No. 2), Belgium (No. 4), Austria (No. 6), the Netherlands (No. 7), the UK (No.8), Italy (No. 18)) and Canada (No. 19). Starcatcher is the band’s second top 10 album, following 2021’s The Battle at Garden’s Gate.
Starcatcher has also attracted considerable critical acclaim. Vogue suggested “Between front man Josh Kiszka’s boundless vocal range, the group’s elaborate onstage ensembles, and a sound that puts a fresh spin on classic rock, Greta Van Fleet provides nothing short of a feast for the senses.” Rolling Stone declared that “Greta sound even more unleashed and unrepentant.” Guitar World, meanwhile, said “Throughout three stellar records, the Frankenmuth, Michigan rockers have kicked all preconceived notions square in the teeth, leaving gain-drenched trails of destruction in their wake.”
Of the new album, lead singer Josh Kiszka said, “Starcatcher is a dangerous and delightful expedition into a both violent and gentle dreamlike landscape. A purgatory of duality where brutality and beauty clash like a thunderstorm of stillness. Neither fact nor fiction inhabit the far reaches of this surrealist world. A storybook for the fighters and lovers alike Starcatcher captures a certain wonder on the fringe of mayhem.”
The band is currently on the road for their extensive “Starcatcher” World Tour. 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.
