Jethro Tull 2026 tour for “The Curiosity Tour”
LONDON, UK – Progressive rock icons Jethro Tull, led by the indomitable Ian Anderson, have officially unveiled their extensive 2026 touring schedule. Titled “The Curiosity Tour,” the trek will see the band performing across the United Kingdom and Europe throughout the year, celebrating over five decades of musical innovation and their latest studio success.
The tour comes on the heels of the band's 2025 album, Curious Ruminant, which debuted to critical acclaim and reached No. 25 on the U.K. charts. Fans can expect a curated setlist that balances fresh material from the new record with the “prog-monsters” and folk-rock classics that defined the band's legacy, including “Aqualung” and “Locomotive Breath.”
“We began regularly playing at the famous Marquee Club in London in January 1968,” recalled frontman Ian Anderson. “Even after all this time, the curiosity to explore new sounds and share them with a live audience remains. This tour is about that spirit of discovery.”
The 2026 leg officially kicks off in Munich, Germany on February 11, before heading into an intensive run across Italy, Spain, and the UK. The British segment is particularly robust, featuring 19 dates in April and May, including a prestigious night at The London Palladium.
