The musical core of The Curiosity Tour
On stage, Jethro Tull build their set around a mix of classic material and newer work. A documented set from the Dresden show on March 22, 2026 at Kulturpalast shows how early tracks such as Some Day the Sun Won't Shine for You, Beggar's Farm and A Song for Jeffrey sit alongside pieces from recent albums, including The Zealot Gene and newer compositions. The concert closed, as often, with Locomotive Breath in the encore.
This balance reflects the group’s long career in progressive rock, folk rock and hard rock. While flutes and acoustic guitars remain central to their sound, later works add denser arrangements, modern production touches and more explicit thematic concepts, which are also featured across the current tour’s setlists.
Where the band stands and what is next
Jethro Tull’s official tour calendar lists their next confirmed live date as September 11, 2026 at Sava Centar in Belgrade, with further concerts in Banja Luka, Zagreb, Berlin, Magdeburg, Zurich, Bregenz, Linz, Vienna and Bonn already scheduled afterwards.
