Band returns to the road in May
Greta Van Fleet has postponed shows for the next two weeks as Jake Kiszka continues to battle pneumonia. The rockers have delayed the entire spring leg of their Dreams in Gold Tour 2022 as Kiszka recovers.
“We are disheartened to announce that the shows from March 22nd through April 2nd must be rescheduled for the health and safety of our brother, Jake,” a statement from the band reads.
“We recognize how upsetting this news is and share your disappointment. While Jake has been discharged after being hospitalized for four days, he is still struggling with pneumonia and its symptoms. The healing process is long and slower than anticipated. Jake wanted to push through, however doctors have advised doing so could potentially lead to further complications and a longer recovery.
“We are actively working on rescheduling and will share information about the new dates as quickly as possible. We are determined to play these shows.
“To our fans in Madison, WI – Unfortunately, the March 22nd performance must be canceled due to planned venue renovations later this year. However, we love you and your city, and will find a way to make it up to you. Refunds will be available at point of purchase.
“To the fans, friends, and family that planned to travel great lengths to be with us — Your unwavering support has not gone unnoticed. We appreciate your dedication, understanding, grace, and sympathy.”
The group had initially postponed three dates before they decided it was necessary to postpone the rest.
“This is only the beginning of the tour and it is important for Jake to heal so the rest of the Dreams and Gold 2022 can continue as planned through the rest of the year, starting in South America.”
As of press time, the band will return to the road on April 27th when they open for Metallica in Santiago, Chile. The group’s headlining tour continues on May 3rd in Rio de Janeiro. They’ll follow it with a stop in Mexico City before heading to Europe in June.
