Jethro Tull

About

Jethro Tull are a British rock band from Blackpool, formed in 1967, with over 50 million albums sold across a career spanning more than five decades. The band blends progressive rock, folk and classical elements, led throughout by Ian Anderson, whose flute playing and theatrical stage presence became their defining signature. Classics such as Aqualung (1971) and Thick as a Brick (1972) secured their place in rock history. After a hiatus in the 2010s, the band returned with three new studio albums between 2022 and 2025, each reaching the UK Top 30.
