Jethro Tull announce 2010 tour dates

Jethro Tull has announced an eight-city North American run in June. The band will kick off their dates on June 4th at Miami's Bayfront Park Amphitheater and wrap things up on June 20th in Highland Park, Illinois at the Martin Theatre At Ravinia. Along the way, Tull will play a two-night Canadian stop on June 18th in Toronto, and June 19th in Windsor, Ontario.

Frontman Ian Anderson says that above all else Tull's shows make for a great night out: [ Click to listen if you have a backstage pass] "It's a party atmosphere; people are relaxed. You know, they want to hear the old hits, they want to hear the, you know, new stuff, they just want to have fun. And for us, it's a good opportunity to play them the whole, the whole Jethro Tull history. In a two-hour show, we try and cover all the ground, from the old stuff through to the new songs. And, and we have a lot of fun. You just wouldn't want to shake hands with us afterwards, 'cause we're like bars of soap -- we're so wet with sweat and sticky."
