Greta Van Fleet will wrap up its year the same way it did in 2017 — by playing a homecoming show in Detroit.

The band will hit the Fox Theatre on Dec. 27 and 29, the biggest Detroit concert yet for the young Michigan hard-rock group.

Tickets for the Dec. 27 date sold out in minutes Friday morning. The Dec. 29 show was promptly added, and is on sale at Ticketmaster.

GVF played two sold-out shows at Detroit's Saint Andrew's Hall to close out 2017. The band sees the holiday-season hometown concert as a budding tradition.

"We've started thinking of it as a Michigan residency thing," guitarist Jake Kiszka told the Free Press. "We can come back and be home for Christmas."

The Fox visit will cap a high-flying year for the Frankenmuth-bred, Detroit-based band. After breaking out in 2017 with a pair of No. 1 rock hits ("Highway Tune," "Safari Song"), the group reaped accolades from musicians such as Robert Plant and Elton John while playing sold-out shows across North America and Europe, along with sets at Coachella, Lollapalooza and other big fests.

And the band will hit the Fox with a new album in hand. "Anthem of the Peaceful Army," Greta's full-length debut, is set for release Oct. 19.

With the booking at the 5,000-seat Fox, GVF continues its march up through Detroit's venues: After the two shows last December at Saint Andrew's (1,000 capacity), the band played three sold-out nights in May at the Fillmore Detroit (2,800).

Greta Van Fleet this morning is also announcing winter shows in London, New York and Chicago.
