Tubular Bells was the debut studio album by English multi-instrumentalist, composer and songwriter Mike Oldfield conceived in 1971 and finally released in 1973. Oldfield who was just 17 years old when he started composing the music, recorded and played almost all of the instruments on the album. It gained worldwide acclaim when the opening theme was used for the soundtrack of the horror film, The Exorcist and went on to become the highest selling instrumental album of all time.

A bold and progressive fusion, Tubular Bells is a journey through classical, jazz, folk, prog rock and electronica.

Following its successful sell-out run in the UK & Europe for the Tubular Bells, the 50th Anniversary,  the tour is now heading to Australia in August 2024 . The Tubular Bells in Concert tour will feature an expansive live group, arranged by Mike Oldfield’s long-term collaborator Robin A Smith. It will see Tubular Bells performed in full, along with further Oldfield compositions. Robin is thrilled to be performing a work he’s loved since he first heard it in 1973. He collaborated with Mike Oldfield on Tubular Bells 2 and 3 including live performances at Edinburgh Castle, Horseguards Parade in London, The Millennium Bell in Berlin and the 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremony . The performance also features other works by Mike Oldfield including Moonlight Shadow, Summit Day, Family Man and Ommadawn.
