Jethro Tull
Event
With a discography that spans about twenty studio albums and stretching back to 1968, Ian Anderson's Jethro Tull are a true institution of British rock, having played several styles, from blues-rock to fusion jazz, later crossing folk, heavy and even classical music to create their own vision of what became known as progressive rock or symphonic rock, a current of which they are one of the exponents.
The group, that currently consists of leader Ian Anderson and musicians such as bassist David Goodier, keyboardist John O'Hara, drummer Scott Hammond and guitarist Joe Parrish, is still active and has even planned to release a new album for 2022, “The Zealot Gene”. A dozen live albums also strengthen the fact that Jethro Tull have always been an acclaimed stage force, a fact that earned them praise of many of their peers, from Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden to Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam or even Nick Cave.
With several bestselling albums and critical acclaim, such as the classics Thick as a Brick, A Passion Play, War Child and Songs From The Wood, Jethro Tull forged a unique identity that has marked generations. And now they are preparing to return to Portugal, 20 years after a memorable visit to the then Pavilhão Atlântico.
