According to an article posted Nov. 16 at Pollstar, the Jethro Tull frontman's latest project is dedicated to his band's historical namesake - a 17th century English agriculturalist, who invented a horse-drawn seed drill and developed a horse-drawn hoe. Re-imagined in the near future, the rock opera explores a number of social issues like climate change, intensive food production and population growth and includes plenty of beloved Tull classics like "Heavy Horses," "Aqualung," "Living in the Past," and "Locomotive Breath," as well as new Anderson-penned songs specifically written for the production. The initial trek will launch April 1, 2016 in Waukegan, Illinois, at Genesee Theatre. The second U.S. leg will include stops in a number of major markets missed during his U.S. fall run, which wrapped up earlier this month. Anderson will make stops in Indianapolis, Nashville and Kansas City, Missouri before wrapping up April 16, 2016 in Atlanta at Fox Theatre. More dates expected to be announced very shortly. Pre-sales for select dates begin Wed., Nov. 18 at 10 a.m. local time. Tickets go on sale to the general public beginning Fri., Nov. 20 at 10:00 a.m. local time. For more information, click here. The production features the "Bungle Through the Jungle" hitmaker on lead vocals, flute and other assorted instruments with help from guitarist Florian Opahle, bassist David Goodier, orchestra conductor/pianist/keyboardist/accordion player John O’Hara and drummer/percussionist Scott Hammond. There are also some surprise appearances from a number of virtual special guests. "Jethro Tull: The Rock Opera" launched on Sept. 8, 2015 in the U.K. and has already made world stops in Russia, South America, Europe and North America. The tour will continue through 2015 with a second leg of dates in Europe with visits to Spain, Italy and a return to the U.K. A remastered and expanded 40th anniversary reissue of Jethro Tull's classic studio album Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young to Die! will hit shelves on Nov. 27 via Rhino/Parlophone/Warner.
