JETHRO Tull fronted by Ian Anderson are coming to Blackburn next year.

The show - Jethro Tull - the Prog Years -will feature songs from many classic early albums by the band including Aqualung, Thick As A Brick and Stand Up.

Ian Anderson said: “Dusting off many older 'progressive' songs amongst my earliest attempts to experiment outside the blues repertoire we began with has proved hugely enjoyable.”

The band have been making music for more than 50 years and the current line-up features David Goodier on bass, John O’Hara on keyboards), guitarist Joe Parrish and Scott Hammond on drums.
