Jethro Tull

Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull band are one of the world's most successful and enduring Progressive Rock bands. At the beginning of February 1968 Jethro Tull first appeared under that name at the famous Marquee Club in Wardour Street, London. Quickly building a following there and at the many other small Blues clubs and pub venues up and down England, the band came to broader media and public recognition at the Sunbury Jazz and Blues Festival in the summer of 1968 where they were the surprise hit of the occasion.

Tull recorded with the original lineup of Anderson, Cornick, Bunker and Abrahams and released their first album This Was (1968) on the Island Records label later that year. After the departure of Mick Abrahams and with new guitarist Martin Barre, another thirty or so musicians would form the ranks over the decades, some staying for a few months; some for the longer haul.

The Jethro Tull brand has continued to this day and as writer, producer, flautist, vocalist and occasional guitarist, Anderson performs with the band typically 50 – 60 shows each year in many countries of the world.

This tour will feature examples from the full Tull catalogue from 1968 up to the 2025 release, Curious Ruminant.

Ian Anderson will be accompanied by long-standing Tull band musicians David Goodier (bass), John O'Hara (keyboards), Scott Hammond (drums) and new boy Jack Clark (guitar). The show will be enhanced by full scale video throughout.
