How The Curiosity Tour frames Jethro Tull’s current chart era

The Curiosity Tour is closely tied to Jethro Tull’s recent studio work on InsideOutMusic. The band’s 2025 album Curious Ruminant reached number 2 on the German album chart, number 4 in Austria and number 5 in Switzerland, illustrating how solid the group’s foothold in German-speaking markets remains decades into their career.German chart overview

At the same time, archival and catalog activity continues. On August 14, 2026 the band issue J-Tull Dot Com: Another Cast Of The Net, a refreshed edition of their late-1990s work, and by August 27, 2026 it has entered the UK’s Official Albums Chart at number 75, reinforcing that the group’s back catalogue still commands attention alongside newer material.Official Charts listing

What’s next for Jethro Tull on the road

Looking beyond Germany, the extended route gives the band a broad European frame. In August 2026 Jethro Tull play Savonlinna, Tampere and Helsinki in Finland, then move on to Banska Bystrica and Budapest later in the month, before visiting Belgrade on September 11 and Banja Luka on September 19.

From mid-October, the itinerary adds Denmark and the Netherlands, including Herning’s MCH Herning Kongrescenter and Copenhagen’s Gamle Scene, plus Groningen’s MartiniPlaza, Nijmegen’s De Vereeniging, Hoorn’s Schouwburg Het Park and Rotterdam’s De Doelen. After the German, Swiss and Austrian dates in November, the year closes with Bonn’s Beethovenhalle on December 18, followed by cathedral concerts in Chelmsford and Ely in the UK.

The musical core and current work

Jethro Tull’s current touring phase continues to balance progressive rock complexity with folk textures and the distinctive flute work of Ian Anderson. Albums such as Thick as a Brick, Songs from the Wood and more recent releases like The Zealot Gene and provide much of the repertoire that still defines their sound, with InsideOutMusic acting as the present label home.

Career status and upcoming key date

Jethro Tull’s next officially listed German live date is November 5, 2026 at Berlin’s Tempodrom, part of the extended leg of The Curiosity Tour.
