Jethro Tull

The Curiosity Tour.

Since their debut at London's Marquee Club in February 1968, this exceptional British phenomenon has been one of the defining forces of progressive rock. What began as a surprise success on small blues stages grew rapidly into an international success story: Jethro Tull became the secret highlight of the summer at the 1968 Sunbury Jazz and Blues Festival, and barely a year later the band was in the spotlight with the album "This Was". What followed was a journey that is still unparalleled today.

At the center of this journey is the man with the flute, whose distinctive tone has long since become a world-famous trademark. Over the decades, he shaped the sound of a group that constantly reinvented itself and yet remained unmistakable. More than 30 musicians have made stops over the years, some only briefly, others for long stretches, but the creative axis has remained constant: the mixture of rock, folk, baroque elegance and that inimitable flute attack that once rewrote the rules of the genre.

In fact, this legend is not resting on its laurels. With over 50 concerts a year, new tour ideas and a remarkable series of recent releases, the project remains alive and kicking today. 'The Zealot Gene' (2022) and 'RökFlöte' (2023) were followed in 2025 by the acclaimed 'Curious Ruminant', which seamlessly continues the stylistic boldness of the early years and shows just how much creative energy is still in the name after almost six decades.

The current tour spans the entire catalog from 1968 to the present day. Ian Anderson will be accompanied by his long-time collaborators David Goodier (bass), John O'Hara (keyboards), Scott Hammond (drums) and new guitarist Jack Clark. In addition, there is an impressive video production that visually expands the musical trip through more than fifty years of rock history.
