Grammy Award-winning rock upstart Greta Van Fleet postponed Sunday night’s scheduled appearance in Nashville.

Slated to perform a sold out show at Municipal Auditorium, the band cited “persisting illness” as reason for postponing the tour stop. The Michigan blues rock outfit rescheduled the show for Dec. 16.

Tickets purchased to Sunday’s show will be honored in December, a statement from the band said. Fans unable to make the rescheduled date can seek a refund at point of purchase.

“With wholehearted disappointment, we must share that we are unable to join the beautiful people of Nashville tonight due to persisting illness,” the statement said. “We wish we could’ve shared this news earlier, but have been doing everything possible to try and see you.”

It’s the second postponement this weekend for Greta Van Fleet, following a New Orleans tour stop also rescheduled for December.

Greta Van Fleet discussed their new song “Always There” appearing in the film A Million Little Pieces in a new MCall interview, and bassist Sam Kiszka said he doesn’t think the band need a break.

“It’s really cool to see that change,” bassist Sam Kiszka — who with his brothers Josh on vocals and Jake on guitar and drummer Danny Wagner make up the band — says in a phone call from a tour stop in Dallas. “I think we’ve packed two years into one, at least. And I like that business plan, because we’re young and we can do it. And I think the worst thing you can do, especially as an artist is sit idle.”

“So I’m really thankful for the fact that we have been going so fast and working hard. And it’s really paying off and we see a response from people. .. And there is so much energy in these rooms. It radiates off the audience and it infects us with great energy. It only makes the shows bigger and better, you know?”
