The original 1967 line-up of Jethro Tull (Anderson, Abrahams, Cornick, and Bunker) reunited in January 2002 for a one-off performance in an English pub. The gig was filmed for the ''Living with the Past'' DVD.  This was the only time that the four original members of the band had played together since 1968, and the only time that a previous Tull line-up had been reunited.

''[[The Jethro Tull Christmas Album]]'', a collection of traditional Christmas songs and Christmas songs written by Jethro Tull, was released in 2003. It was the last studio album to be recorded by the band for nearly 20 years, and it became their biggest commercial success since 1987's ''Crest of a Knave''. An Ian Anderson live double album and DVD were released in 2005, titled ''[[Ian Anderson Plays the Orchestral Jethro Tull]]''. A DVD and album titled ''[[Nothing Is Easy: Live at the Isle of Wight 1970]]'' were released in 2005.

The entire 1971 ''Aqualung'' album was performed live for a small audience at the end of a US tour, on 23 November 2004, by Anderson, Barre, Perry, Giddings, and Noyce. The performance was recorded for broadcast on radio station XM Radio as part of the station's musical milestones "most important albums ever recorded; timeless albums re-recorded by the original artists" project, and was later released as an album, ''[[Aqualung Live]]''. Proceeds from sales of the album were donated to homeless charities, as the 'Aqualung' of the song was a homeless tramp).

A boxed set DVD ''Collector's Edition'' containing two DVDs, ''[[Nothing Is Easy: Live at the Isle of Wight 1970]]'' and ''[[Living with the Past]]'', was released in 2006. Bassist Jon Noyce left the band in March 2006, and keyboard player [[Andrew Giddings]] quit in July 2006 citing constant touring and not enough time for family. They were replaced by [[David Goodier]] and John O'Hara. ''[[The Best of Acoustic Jethro Tull]]'', released in 2007, was a 24-song collection of Tull's and Anderson's acoustic performances, taken from various albums, which included a new live acoustic version of "One Brown Mouse" and a live performance of a traditional song (attributed to [[Henry VIII of England|Henry VIII]]), "[[Pastime with Good Company]]" .

In 2007, the band also released a DVD/CD of a live concert, ''[[Live at Montreux 2003 (Jethro Tull album)|Live at Montreux 2003]]'', which featured the longest unchanged line-up of Anderson, Barre, Perry, Noyce and Giddings. Songs performed included "Fat Man", "With You There to Help Me" and "Hunting Girl". In 2010, the band were commemorated with a [[Heritage Award]] by [[PRS for Music]], and a plaque was placed on the church in [[Blackpool]] where the founders of the band had played their first gig in 1964.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/lancashire/8536951.stm |work=BBC News | title=Jethro Tull's church gig honoured | date=25 February 2010}}</ref>
