Legendary Prog Rock icon, Ian Anderson, has announced a 2014 UK tour, following the release of his new concept album.

Singer, flautist, composer and the mainstay of classic rock band Jethro Tull, Ian is one of the more out-spoken of rock's creative forces. As the self-professed “unplugged guy with a bunch of noisy friends”, Ian Anderson commands much respect as an acoustic musician amongst his peers.

The only original member of Jethro Tull, Ian remains synonymous with the brand identity. Drawing on Folk, Classical, Rock and Jazz music styles, Ian continues to blend elements of many world music cultures to delight his fans.

You can expect a selection of songs from his new concept album, which he defines as Folk-Prog-Metal. in its more theatrical setting, together with a selection of Jethro Tull classics.
