Bulgaria: Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson to Open Plovdiv Salon of Arts in September

Jethro Tull co-founder Ian Anderson is coming to Plovdiv on September 03, 2016.

His concert will mark the opening of this year's Salon of the Arts in Bulgaria's second-largest city.

The Best of Jethro Tull by Ian Anderson will be a show highlighting the best pieces done by the British rock band that was founded way back in 1967 and kept being somewhat active by 2014, when Anderson announced it was coming to an "end".

In June 2004, they arrived in Bulgaria to perform at the National Palace of Culture.

This year, it will be Plovdiv's Roman Theater.

The setlist will include Living in the Past, Cross-Eyed Mary, Locomotive Breath, Aqualung, Thick As A Brick (Part 1) and others.

Tickets are at BGN 65 M (standard) and BGN 85 (Golden Circle) and are sold via Eventim.

Entry will be free of charge for children aged under seven.

Described by Rolling Stone magazine as "one of the most commercially successful and eccentric progressive rock bands", Jethro Tull rose to fame in the late 60s with the distinctive sound of Anderson's flute, with the latter claiming he had only been playing the instrument for a few weeks when he started to use it on stage.
