Jethro Tull Announces ‘The Seven Decades’ US Tour

Jethro Tull has announced a 2023 U.S. tour stretching from summer into fall.

Dubbed the Seven Decades tour, the trek will be in support of the prog-rock group’s new album, RokFlote . Performances begin Aug. 18th in Highland Park, Ill. From there, Jethro Tull will wind their way through various parts of the U.S. before wrapping things up on Nov. 4th in Albany, N.Y.

A full list of tour dates can be found below.

RokFlote , Jethro Tull’s 23rd album, arrives Friday. Frontman Ian Anderson previously revealed how he drew on Norse mythology for the album’s title.

“I started with the idea of a predominantly instrumental album for rock flute – as in rock music,” he explained. “When the subject material of the album presented itself, I was drawn to the term Ragnarok from Norse mythology – their version of apocalyptic end times or Biblical Armageddon. The ‘final showdown’ scenario is ubiquitous and inherent in Hinduism, Christianity and Islam, for example.

“Ragnarok translates as ‘destiny of the Gods,’ the ‘rok’ part meaning destiny, course, direction,” he continued. “With umlaut firmly in place, courtesy of the Germanic origins of Old Norse, Flute became ‘flote’ in keeping with the spelling. With me so far? I just can’t miss the glorious opportunity for a good and legitimate umlaut.”

Jethro Tull Announce “The Seven Decades” 2023 US Tour

The post Jethro Tull Announce “The Seven Decades” 2023 US Tour appeared first on Consequence .

Progressive rock legends Jethro Tull have announced “The Seven Decades” in support of their new album RökFlöte .

The band’s 2023 US tour dates kick off August 18th in Highland Park, Illinois, and are scattered across the subsequent months before wrapping up November 4th in Albany, New York.

A Live Nation ticket pre-sale starts Thursday (April 20th) at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster using the code VINYL . General ticket sales begin Friday (April 21st) at 10 a.m. local time. For preferred seats or sold-out shows, you can also pick up tickets via StubHub , where your purchase is 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s Fan Protect program.

The tour announcement comes just in time for the release of Jethro Tull’s 23rd studio album, RökFlöte , on Friday (April 21st). The album’s title translates to “rock flute” — an ode to frontman Ian Anderson’s instrument of choice

The band recently released the LP’s third single “Hammer on Hammer” as a latest taste of the 12-song collection, which sees Anderson, the only constant member of Jethro Tull, alongside bassist David Goodier, pianist/organist John O’Hara, drummer, Scott Hammond, and guitarist Joe Parrish-James.

Anderson and company have been particularly active as of late, having dropped the first Jethro Tull album in over 20 years, The Zealot Gene , last year. This came after Anderson previously admitted that his days as a singer were “numbered” due to suffering from an incurable lung disease.

Below you can see Jethro Tull’s slate of US tour dates and the video for “Hammer on Hammer.” Get tickets  here .

Jethro Tull Adds Tour Dates in Support of New Album, ‘RökFlöte’

jehro tour

Ian Anderson, holding his rock flute, with Jethro Tull’s 2023 lineup

Jethro Tull have announced the first 2024 concerts for their “Seven Decades” tour in support of their 23rd studio album, RökFlöte , released on April 21, 2023, via InsideOutMusic. Following the worldwide success of 2022’s The Zealot Gene , the band’s first album in two decades, Ian Anderson and company returned with a 12-track record based on the characters and roles of some of the principle gods of the old Norse paganism, and at the same time exploring the ‘RökFlöte’ – rock flute – which Jethro Tull has made iconic.

The band has many 2023 concerts in Europe and the U.S. The lineup consists of Anderson (concert and alto flutes, flute d’Amour, Irish whistle and vocals), David Goodier (bass guitar), John O’Hara (piano, keyboards and Hammond organ), Scott Hammond (drums), and Joe Parrish-James (electric and acoustic guitars, mandolin). Tickets for the 2024 U.K. shows, announced on June 12, go on sale June 16. Tickets for the 2023 European and U.S. shows are already available here .

Anderson reached the milestone age of 75 last August 10, and told Best Classic Bands, “I certainly don’t think more than a year ahead. That becomes increasingly more foolhardy as you get older.”

Of the repertoire, Anderson said, “We shall be playing songs from each of the seven decades of Jethro Tull albums. Learning and rehearsing some half-forgotten tracks from our catalog is like meeting old friends after a long silence. Yes – they have aged, but the years drop away after a few run-throughs and a couple of beers.”

“The ‘final showdown’ scenario is ubiquitous and inherent in Hinduism, Christianity and Islam, for example. Ragnarök translates as ‘destiny of the Gods,’ the rök part meaning destiny, course, direction. With umlaut firmly in place, courtesy of the Germanic origins of Old Norse, Flute became Flöte in keeping with the spelling.” “The Navigators” explores the Norse god Njord, who was the god of wealth, fertility, the sea and seafaring.

Watch the official video for “The Navigators”

RökFlöte  is available on CD and vinyl, as well as on two limited deluxe formats that include bonus demo material, extensive liner notes & a Blu-ray featuring Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround sound, alternative stereo mixes by Bruce Soord, as well as a bonus track and in-depth interview with Ian Anderson. The album is also available digitally in the spatial audio formats Dolby Atmos & Sony 360 RA.

Never too old to rock’n’roll and always too young to die! Wonderful!

Da Mick

Any of Ian Anderson’s songs with his voice and flute are going to be somewhat reminiscent of Jethro Tull, although none of his vocal edge, that made some of their classic songs so great, is apparently not possible anymore. But beyond that, I don’t quite understand what makes and Ian Anderson record and what now makes another Ian Anderson records a modern day “Jethro Tull” record, except perhaps the ability to market it to a wider audience. Jethro Tull was a band. It’s true that hat band had a somewhat revolving door of members over the years, and while we’re not necessarily privy to why they left, they were all superb musicians who brought a certain sound to the band’s personality, which was always dominated by the huge talents of Ian Anderson. That said, I’m still bewildered by the unceremonious dumping of Martin Barre after so many decades of loyalty to Anderson and to Tull. If there was any other one sound aside from Anderson’s voice and flute that created a “Tull sound” it was Barre’s guitar parts and tone. Therefore, I still hold fast that if there’s no Martin Barre, it ain’t Jethro Tull.

Deja Vu! Noticed that they’re playing at the Hampton Beach Casino in October. Summer of 1971, I was living at the beach with 5-6 guys and in a band playing at a club a few miles down the road from Hampton Beach at Salisbury Beach. One of my roommates had tickets to see Jethro Tull at the Hampton Beach Casino. Aqualung was just released in March of 71 and I don’t think the promoters realized how big Jethro Tull was. Obviously way more people than tickets and a riot occurred. My roommate said it was crazy. After that, the Casino stopped having concerts for years. This happened at at time when everyone was friendly, doors were left unlocked, you could walk into any party and were welcomed. Can’t say that about the insanity of today. Hope all goes well. Then again, I have to agree with the reader who said there’s no Tull without Martin Barre. Very true. Maybe the promoters think that there’ll be a limited crowd because of this too. I found this quote last year, in Shindig Magazine I believe, by an English band that I can’t recall their name. “When you’re cranking “When The Levee Breaks” at 3am as loud as you can and the neighbours tell you to turn it up, you know 1971 was a very fine year”.

RokFlote is an outstanding album! With it, Tull have finally — minus few smatterings of discontent — stepped aside any lingering shadows of prior iterations. The sound is fresh, crisp, and incredibly innovative — a real ‘Change of Horses,’ as it were. I don’t know how he does it, but Anderson’s lyricism is progressively ingenious as ever, and his distinctive vocals fit its themes and creative turns-of-phrase remarkably well. The band are as clean and precise as ever, and the mixing is beyond superb. Memorable and catchy melodies abound with every twist and turn, and the overall creativity is awe inspiring. Special shoutout to the band, and especially the expansive guitar work of Joe Parrish. His sound is incredibly distinctive and very befitting Jethro Tull, while not simultaneously seeking to imitate past phrasings. He is as refreshing a reboot to the Barre legacy as Barre was to Mick Abrahams’. Everything about the album fits together as a cohesive whole: My only disappointment is that they won’t be touring it as an entire piece with corresponding stage props and theatricalities. But I’ll gladly accept the Seven Decades as a worthy alternative! Can’t say enough is praise: 99 out of 100 misteltoe spears.

Jethro Tull Unveils 2023 Seven Decades Tour and the Norse Mythology Behind 23rd Album ‘RökFlöte’

by Tina Benitez-Eves April 19, 2023, 11:09 am

Jethro Tull has revealed their 2023 U.S. tour in support of the prog band’s upcoming 23rd album RökFlöte ( Rock Flute ), out April 21.

Videos by American Songwriter

Christened the Seven Decades Tour, the band will kick off shows on Aug. 18th in Highland Park, Illinois, and work their way around the U.S before wrapping up in Albany, New York on Nov. 4. Still led by longtime founding frontman Ian Anderson, the current band also consists of guitarist Joe Parrish-James, bassist David Goodier, keyboardist John O’Hara, and drummer Scott Hammond.

RökFlöte follows Jethro Tull’s 2022 release, The Zealot Gene , which gave the band their first Top 10 album in the U.K. for 50 years, and was inspired by Norse mythology, and started off with more instrumental “rock flute” music.

“I started with the idea of a predominantly instrumental album for rock flute–as in rock music,” said Anderson of the concept behind the album. “When the subject material of the album presented itself, I was drawn to the term Ragnarok from Norse mythology, their version of apocalyptic end times or biblical armageddon. The ‘final showdown’ scenario is ubiquitous and inherent in Hinduism, Christianity and Islam, for example.

Anderson continued, “Ragnarok translates as ‘destiny of the Gods,’ the ‘rok’ part meaning destiny, course, direction. With umlaut firmly in place, courtesy of the Germanic origins of old Norse, Flute became ‘flote’ in keeping with the spelling. … I just can’t miss the glorious opportunity for a good and legitimate umlaut.”

Elaborating on the third RökFlöte single, “Hammer on Hammer,” Anderson said “The track takes inspiration from the god Thor, [an] loyal and honorable warrior who wears a powerful symbolic belt and wields a hammer. His mortal enemy & nemesis was Jormungand the sea-serpent.

The previous single, “The Navigators,” explores the Norse god Njord, who was the god of wealth, fertility, the sea, and seafaring, while “Ginnungagap,” which was accompanied by an animated video created by artist Costin Chioreanu, was inspired by god Ymir, “the proto-being, a primeval being, who was born from venom that dripped from the icy rivers called the Élivágar and lived in the grassless void of Ginnungagap,” according to a descriptor by the band.
