Legendary British rock band Jethro Tull return to Istanbul on Thursday 16 July at Zorlu PSM Turkcell Stage as part of The Curiosity Tour 2026, organized by Stagepass. With a career spanning more than five decades, the Grammy Award-winning group continues to bring its distinctive blend of progressive rock, folk, and classical influences to the stage.Tickets are available now via Biletix.
Formed in 1967 and led by frontman Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull quickly set themselves apart by placing the flute at the center of their sound, creating a musical identity unlike any of their contemporaries. Their work moves fluidly between blues foundations, folk traditions, and complex progressive arrangements, often shaped by Anderson’s theatrical delivery and narrative-driven lyrics.
The band reached a defining moment with Aqualung (1971), widely regarded as one of the most influential albums in rock history. This was followed by ambitious releases such as Thick as a Brick, a full-length conceptual piece that pushed the boundaries of structure and form within popular music. Tracks like “Locomotive Breath” and material from albums such as Songs from the Wood continue to resonate across generations, reflecting the band’s enduring influence.
The Curiosity Tour brings together material from across their extensive catalog, offering a performance that reflects both their early innovations and later developments. With their distinctive musical language and lasting impact on rock history, Jethro Tull’s Istanbul concert promises an evening shaped by craftsmanship, storytelling, and timeless sound.
