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.
