Jethro Tull « The Curiosity Tour »

Jethro Tull brings The Curiosity Tour to MCH Herning Kongrescenter in Herning on 15 October 2026. Led by singer, flautist and songwriter Ian Anderson, the band traces a line from late-60s blues-rock roots to folk-tinged progressive adventures. Anderson’s flute, shifting rhythms and narrative lyrics shape a sound that has moved from the raw edge of This Was and Stand Up to the layered writing of Aqualung, the long-form suites of Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play, and the woodsy textures of Songs from the Wood and Heavy Horses. Across changing line-ups, that blend of electric bite, acoustic detail and classical touches has stayed central, with storytelling that nods to social and historical themes without losing the pulse of a rock band.

Re-energised in the 2020s with new studio work under the Jethro Tull name, the group steps on stage with a catalogue built for contrast: riffs and reels, pastoral passages and sharp turns in meter. The Curiosity Tour draws connections across eras, letting Anderson’s melodic lines carry the thread from intimate flute phrases to full-band lift.
