At the Greta Van Fleet concert at the Iowa State Fair, the crowd and atmosphere felt like a classic 1970s rock show, and a rock show is precisely what the band delivered.
The quartet — twin brothers Josh Kiszka and Jake Kiszka, younger brother Sam Kiszka, and lifelong comrade Daniel Wagner — performed the last U.S. tour date for the “Starcatcher World Tour” at the Iowa State Fair.
The Grammy Award-winning band performed a nearly two-hour set, filled with flashy light displays, shots of Fireball, and pyrotechnics that heated the Grandstand, but the band played symphonically.

The Beaches warm up the crowd
The Beaches, an all-girl rock band that has been together for more than a decade, opened the show. The Beaches features sisters Jordan Miller, lead vocalist and bassist; Kylie Miller, guitarist; plus closest friends Leandra Earl, guitarist and keyboardist; and Eliza Enman-McDaniel, drummer. Enman-McDaniel was not at the concert at the fair, and Karah James of the band Valley was filling in her place.
