Jethro Tull’s Martin Barre: AQUALUNG 50TH Anniversary Tour – Sunday March 20
Jethro Tull guitarist MARTIN BARRE celebrates the 50th anniversary of Aqualung , performing the entire album in order, for the first time.
Aqualung, probably the most famous and celebrated of all of Jethro Tull’s albums, is now celebrating 50 years since its release in 1971. At the centre of Tull’s unique sound is guitarist Martin Barre, who is renowned for his formidable mastery of historic riffs, power chords and soaring melodic solos.
Martin is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the release of the iconic and legendary album Aqualung with a worldwide tour throughout 2021 and 2022. He will be bringing a spectacular show playing the album in its entirety with his touring band – featuring Dan Crisp on lead vocals and guitar, Alan Thomson on bass, and Darby Todd on Drums; together with former Jethro Tull band members who are planning to be part of this celebration.
Martin Says:
“Aqualung was the album that defined Tull. Sumptuous melodies, big dynamics and power riffs galore. Acoustic met electric…and it all worked”.
The anniversary tour will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to sit back and relive this legendary album, being played in full and in sequence for the first time.
