Jethro Tull

Jethro Tull isn't just a band -- they're a musical institution.

Since they first stood on stage at small clubs in the south of England in 1968, Ian Anderson and his changing team of virtuoso musicians have redefined what rock music can be. Based on blues, Tull's sound quickly turned into something quite unique: a union of rock, folk, jazz and classical elements, with Anderson's charismatic presence and flute playing as the band's haunting hallmarks.

The band's 1968 debut album This Was laid the groundwork, but it was with the sequels Stand Up (1969), Benefit (1970) and especially Aqualung (1971) that Jethro Tull broke through internationally. The following year saw the release of Thick As A Brick, a concept album disguised as a single long, cohesive song that cemented Tull's status as pioneers of progressive rock.

In the 1970s, Jethro Tull became one of the world's biggest live attractions, sharing the highest echelons of the stage with names such as Led Zeppelin, Elton John and the Rolling Stones. It was remarkable for a band whose musical experimentation and sophisticated expression lay far from the pop and rock norms of the time. Yet it was precisely this uncompromising approach that made Tull unique -- and beloved by millions.

With more than 30 albums and over 60 million copies sold, Jethro Tull has left an indelible imprint on music history. They have played more than 3,000 concerts in 40 countries and Ian Anderson has for more than 55 years continued the tradition of bringing Tull's music to both new and old generations of fans.

Today, in 2026, Jethro Tull consists of Ian Anderson (flute, vocals, acoustic guitar), Jack Clark (guitar, vocals), Scott Hammond (drums), John O'Hara (keyboards, vocals) and David Goodier (bass, vocals). Together, they deliver concerts that unite nostalgia with renewal -- a journey through five decades of musical evolution. The repertoire ranges from early blues tracks to the great classics such as Locomotive Breath and Living In The Past, to new works such as the critically acclaimed 2022 album The Zealot Gene.

Ian Anderson, the man who brought the flute into rock music, remains unrivaled as the instrument's ambassador in popular music. His playing and charisma onstage are still the driving force of Jethro Tull, and with a blend of virtuosity, wit and scenic strength, he keeps the band's legacy alive.

Jethro Tull is not just the past -- they are the present and the future. With their ability to excite audiences across generations, they continue to prove that great music doesn't have an expiration date. Whether you've been following them since the 1960s or have just discovered their universe, the experience is the same: a journey into a musical landscape that constantly surprises and inspires.
