Ian Anderson 2014 Tour
After two magic years on the road with the Thick As A Brick shows,
legendary Prog Rock icon Ian Anderson embarks upon a UK tour, following the
release of his new concept album ‘Homo
Erraticus’ in April.
The 22-date UK tour kicks off in late April, before
moving on to Europe and the US. The show will feature Homo Erraticus – an ‘epic voyage into the Progressive Rock pantheon of
strangeness’ according to Anderson - in its entirety
followed
after the intermission by a collection of the artist’s favourite Tull classics. The performance
will be illustrated and complemented by video and theatrical
settings ‘to bring a tear to the eye’, an
enthusiastic Anderson declared.
Following the astonishing
success of his ‘Thick As A Brick’ tour – including
a one-off performance at the iconic Royal Albert Hall
– tickets for the 2014 shows are expected to go fast. An opportunity not to be
missed for any Prog addict out there to check out Ian’s latest work, visit
Memory Lane once more and enjoy a majestic, unforgettable show.

Ian Anderson recently won The Prog God Award from Prog
Magazine. The Award celebrates the
innovators of rock. The people who have inspired generations and have carved a
way for others to be at their creative best. There is no one who has pushed the
boundaries more than Ian Anderson, who to this day remains immersed in his love
for the music.
Fronting seminal Prog outfit Jethro Tull and as a solo artist, Ian
Anderson has performed in more than 54 countries over 45 years; he is widely
considered an icon of the genre and he’s recognised as the one who introduced
the flute to rock music. With over 60 million albums sold in their career, Tull
have been characterised by Anderson’s trademark acoustic textures, created with
ethnic flutes and whistles together with acoustic guitar and the mandolin
family of instruments. In his most recent solo shows, Anderson has played with
orchestras, string quartets and featured soloists. His eclectic acoustic
performances are also a hit with fans of the genre.
