Hear the new Greta Van Fleet song “Saw You Stand”

Greta Van Fleet has released “Saw You Stand,” a new single from their upcoming album Palace for the People, which will be released on October 9. It will be the band’s fourth studio album and the follow-up to Starcatcher, released in 2023.

The band’s lineup remains unchanged, featuring Joshua Kiszka (vocals), Jake Kiszka (guitar), Sam Kiszka (bass), and Daniel Wagner (drums). “As much as it is a Greta Van Fleet record and a rock and roll record at its core, in its heart, it’s a very modern record,” guitarist Jake Kiszka said.

The press release explained that the song’s title was inspired by the iconic London venue Alexandra Palace, which was originally known as the “Palace of the People.” “A friend explained that the elaborate grandeur of this Victorian-era ‘palace’, originally named ‘The Palace Of The People’, was created as a gathering place for the public.”

“Unlike most lavish buildings of the time, this one wasn’t created for the Monarchs nor the wealthy aristocrats of the day, but for everyone to ‘escape and wonder’, a truly modern concept for the time. Fast forward to 2026, Greta Van Fleet began to wonder: what would a palace for the people mean today? And how do we get there?”

“I can’t tell you how many people have come up to me and said, ‘This is my best friend. We met through your music or at your show, and we realized, the music is our palace!”‘  bassist/keyboardist Sam Kiszka explained. His brother Josh added: “We love each other just as much as ever, if not more, because we’ve got to spend quality time together off of the road. We’ve grown closer, and we have more to say and share than ever.”

Drummer Daniel Wagner also talked about the record, saying: “The minute the four of us step into a room with the shared goal of creating, there is very little that can stop us.”
