Jethro Tull return to German stages in 2026 with their extensive The Curiosity Tour. According to the band’s official website and current ticket listings, the run stretches across Europe and the UK and now includes a late-2026 arena date at Berlin’s Tempodrom.
How The Curiosity Tour hits Germany
The 2026 tour is built around Jethro Tull’s 24th studio album Curious Ruminant and a long European itinerary that starts in Munich on February 11 before moving on to several German cities in spring and early summer, then returning in autumn.
German dates include Munich’s Isarphilharmonie on February 11, Dresden’s Kulturpalast on March 22, Leipzig’s Haus Auensee on March 23, Dillingen’s Lokschuppen on April 9, Stuttgart’s Liederhalle Beethovensaal on April 11, and Nuremberg’s Meistersingerhalle on April 12, with Butzbach’s Schloss Butzbach following on June 27.
Late-year Berlin date and wider European leg
Beyond these spring and summer shows, a fresh highlight for German fans is the November 5, 2026 concert at Berlin’s Tempodrom, listed with a capacity of around 4,000 and evening doors, which anchors the tour’s late-year return to Germany. Ticket information shows tiered pricing and standard seated configuration in the hall.
From Germany the tour continues through autumn with additional dates in Austria and Switzerland and club and theater shows in cities such as Copenhagen and Rotterdam, forming a continuous run that keeps the band on European stages once Curious Ruminant has settled in as part of their catalogue.

Curious Ruminant, released on March 7, 2025 via InsideOut Music, is Jethro Tull’s third studio album in four years and underscores the band’s late-career productivity with nine tracks that blend progressive rock structures and folk textures with Ian Anderson’s trademark flute lines.
The album follows The Zealot Gene (2022) and RökFlöte (2023), giving the band a modern trilogy of studio work that now sits alongside classic ’70s albums such as Stand Up, Aqualung, and Songs from the Wood in their live set, where older material and newer pieces typically share space.
