JETHRO TULL RETURNS TO BELGRADE – SEPTEMBER 11, 2026 AT SAVA CENTAR
One of the most influential names in progressive rock returns to Belgrade – Jethro Tull will perform on September 11, 2026 at Sava Centar, eight years after their last appearance in the Serbian capital. Led by the iconic Ian Anderson, whose performances have shaped rock history since the late 1960s, the band returns to the city where they first played back in 1975.
Audiences can expect an evening of timeless classics and new material from the current tour – a powerful fusion of heritage and innovation, virtuosity and theatrical presence. The elegant setting of Sava Centar will further highlight the artistic depth and musical sophistication that have defined Jethro Tull for nearly six decades.
Tickets are available in seven categories via Efinity, priced from 4,900 to 12,900 RSD.
From the Marquee Club to the world stage
Formed in 1967, Jethro Tull first performed under that name in 1968 at London’s legendary Marquee Club. After building a reputation across blues clubs in England and gaining wider attention at the Sunbury Jazz and Blues Festival, the band released their debut album “This Was” later that year, launching a discography that would help shape the sound of progressive rock.
Ian Anderson – the flute that redefined rock
At the heart of the band stands Ian Anderson – songwriter, vocalist and flautist whose unconventional, electrifying flute style became one of the most recognizable signatures in rock history. Despite lineup changes over the decades, Anderson has remained the creative driving force behind Jethro Tull.
Blending progressive rock, folk, blues and classical influences, the band forged a unique musical identity that has stood the test of time.
Albums that defined a genre
Albums such as “Aqualung” and “Thick as a Brick” are now regarded as genre-defining masterpieces and essential references in the evolution of art and progressive rock. During the 1970s, Jethro Tull became a global touring phenomenon, renowned for sophisticated performances that combined technical excellence with strong visual aesthetics.
Over the decades, they have sold tens of millions of albums worldwide and remain one of the rare bands of their era still actively recording and touring.
The current tour & new album
The current tour spans nearly six decades of music – from early compositions dating back to 1968 to their latest, 24th studio album “Curious Ruminant” (2025), featuring nine new tracks written by Ian Anderson.
Joining Anderson on stage are long-time band members David Goodier (bass), John O’Hara (keyboards), Scott Hammond (drums) and Jack Clark (guitar).
Timeless classics in the magnificent acoustics of Sava Centar
Missing the chance to hear “Locomotive Breath”, “Aqualung”, “Living in the Past”, “Thick as a Brick” and “Bungle in the Jungle” performed live in the outstanding acoustics of Sava Centar is simply not an option.
