Following on from the hugely successful extended 50th anniversary celebrations of Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells across Europe, The Best of Tubular Bells I, II & III, which celebrates the brilliance of these iconic and seminal musical pieces, will tour across Europe in Autumn 2026.. One of the most pioneering and influential musicians of all time, Mike Oldfield's visionary Tubular Bells series spans three albums and 27 years, with Tubular Bells created in 1971 and released in 1973, Tubular Bells II released in 1992, (the filming of the premier from Edinburgh Castle is one of the most viewed and streamed musical events ever) and Tubular Bells III released in 1998, (with the excerpt of Far above the Clouds featured in the 2012 London Olympic Opening Ceremony) . With each album, Oldfield expands on the incredible themes and theatrical variations he first composed at 17 years old, continually innovating and pushing boundaries. The Best of Tubular Bells I, II & lll European tour will feature an expansive live group, led and arranged by Oldfield's long-term collaborator Robin Smith, which will see whole of Tubular Bells l performed in full, along with extended sections of Tubular Bells ll and lll, as well as worldwide hit single Moonlight Shadow.
