The band will have a wild year as they will be opening for the highly anticipated tour of the year, Mötley Crüe Stadium Tour which will also feature Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett.

February 10, 2019

Today is a big day and no, I am not talking about my birthday! Tonight is the 61st Recording Academy Grammy Awards. Today during the pre-telecast, our favorite band has taken a big win. Greta Van Fleet has won Best Rock Album for From the Fires. This is a huge win for them and we congratulate them on all their hard work. They were up against some great talent, Alice in Chains, Rainier Fog; Fall Out Boy, M A N I A; Ghost, Prequelle; and Weezer, Pacific Daydream.
