Jethro Tull

50-Year Anniversary



Following their first, historic gig at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus back in 2003, Jethro Tull return to the hallowed grounds of the Odeon to celebrate their 50 years into the music business together with their Greek fans. Guided by the music genius known as Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull have influenced generation after generation of rockers with their long and fruitful career. With their diverse style encompassing blues, hard rock, progressive, art rock, elaborate arrangements and Anderson’s masterful flute-playing, the eccentric British band from Luton is justly considered one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Their first five albums, This Was, Stand Up, Benefit, Aqualung and Thick as a Brick (particularly the last three), released between 1968 to 1972, and their classic rock anthems, such as “Locomotive Breath” and “Too Old to Rock ‘n’ Roll Too Young to Die,” established them as one of the most successful prog rock bands ever. In their single appearance at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, Jethro Tull will revisit their long career; half a century of musical flashbacks in an evening that is bound to be unforgettable.
