The Best of Tubular Bells I, II and III, which celebrates the brilliance of these iconic and seminal musical pieces, will tour across the UK throughout February and March 2026. This 26 date UK tour will feature an expansive live group, led and arranged by Oldfield’s long-term collaborator Robin Smith, which will see the 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.
One of the most pioneering and influential musicians of all time, Mike Oldfield’s visionary Tubular Bells series spans three albums and 17 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.
"Hearing the timeless music performed with such passion and love brought tears to the eye as the audience rode on waves of Oldfield’s magic. For fans of live music this was pure joy and, for fans of Oldfield, this was perfection." Lancashire Evening Post
"The whole show was huge fun, every musician was entertaining in their own way, all were massively talented and we left with enormous smiles on out faces, safe in the knowledge that we’d watched something very special indeed." Birmingham Live
