One of the most significant names in the global progressive rock scene is returning to Zagreb; the legendary Jethro Tull will perform on October 11, 2026, at the Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall—eight years after their last concert in the city. Led by Ian Anderson—whose performances have shaped the history of rock music since the late 1960s—the band returns to the city where they first played back in 1975, bringing an evening of timeless classics and new material from their current tour. The concert at Lisinski is envisioned as a special event dedicated to the band’s rich musical legacy, set in an atmosphere that highlights the artistic dimension of their body of work and allows full scope for the intricate details that have made Jethro Tull instantly recognizable for decades. Tickets are available at Lisinski.hr, priced at €59, €69, €79, €89, and €100.
Jethro Tull ranks among the most successful and enduring bands in the progressive rock scene. Their story began in 1967, and a year later, they performed under that name for the first time at London’s legendary Marquee Club. They quickly built a reputation through performances in blues clubs across England, gaining wider public attention following their appearance at the Sunbury Jazz and Blues Festival that same year. Their debut album, *This Was*, was released in 1968, marking the start of a discography that would shape the sound of progressive rock over the decades. At the heart of the story from the very beginning is Ian Anderson—songwriter, flautist, and vocalist—whose distinctive approach to the instrument became one of the most recognizable elements in the history of rock music. Although the band’s lineup changed over the years, Anderson remained the creative constant guiding Jethro Tull through various musical phases. Throughout their career, the band successfully blended progressive rock, folk, blues, and classical influences, forging a unique musical identity that remains instantly recognizable to this day.
Albums such as *Aqualung* and *Thick as a Brick* are now considered genre classics and essential touchstones in the evolution of art and progressive rock. During the 1970s, Jethro Tull became a global touring phenomenon, renowned for sophisticated performances that combined superb musicianship with a distinctive stage aesthetic. Over the decades, they have sold tens of millions of albums and remain one of the few bands of their era to continuously perform and create new material.
The current tour offers a retrospective spanning nearly six decades of work—from early compositions dating back to 1968 to their latest album, *Curious Ruminant*, released in 2025. Marking the band’s 24th studio album, the release features nine songs with music and lyrics penned by Ian Anderson. Joining him on stage are long-time members David Goodier (bass), John O’Hara (keyboards), Scott Hammond (drums), and Jack Clark (guitar).
Jethro Tull’s return to Zagreb represents a meeting of the past and the present. Missing out on timeless classics like “Locomotive Breath,” “Aqualung,” “Living in the Past,” “Thick as a Brick,” and “Bungle in the Jungle”—all within the magnificent acoustics of the Lisinski Hall—simply isn’t an option. Secure your tickets in time, and see you on October 11th!
