Part two of Greta Van Fleet’s Starcatcher World Tour kicked off in St. Louis Saturday at Chaifetz Arena to an ecstatic sold-out crowd.
The assembled fans also got a chance to check out Mirador, a new project of Greta Van Fleet’s Jake Kiszka and Chris Turpin of Ida Mae, that provided a silky, solid rock opener. Brooklyn-based Geese filled the second slot with their eclectic sound. Refusing to be tied down to one or even two genres, the band’s vibe moves between neo-new wave, prog-rock, and everything in between.

When Greta Van Fleet finally took the stage for their 125-minute set, they did so in typical fashion—with capes, sequins, fire, and sparkling, ’70s-inspired rock.
The Michigan-born band has risen above the clutter and captivated the world with their brand of rock ‘n’ roll that feels both deeply nostalgic and of the moment. St. Louis audiences got the chance to hear some standouts from GVF, including the tour debut of “Caravel,” an acoustic cover of “Unchained Melody,” and encore performances of “Light My Love” and “Farewell for Now.”
