No Upcoming Concerts
We're sorry, but we couldn't find any upcoming concerts for Tubular Bells Live in Concert. Please check back soon.
Following its successful sold-out 50th Anniversary run in the UK & Europe, Tubular Bells in Concert heads to Australia in August 2024.
The Gold Anniversary of Mike Oldfield’s trailblazing magnum-opus will be performed by an expansive live group, featuring and arranged by Mike Oldfield’s long-term collaborator, Robin A Smith.
The concert will see Tubular Bells performed in full, with further Oldfield compositions, including “Moonlight Shadow”, “To France”, “Family Man” and excerpts from “Ommadawn”.
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 Exorcist, and the album went on to become the highest selling instrumental album of all time.
Robin A Smith has worked with Mike Oldfield for over 25 years, collaborating 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.
Mike Oldfield will not appear at these performances.
3 rows from the front and the experience was amazing when bass,drums and guitars you feel the vibrations and were encompassed in the experience of the brilliant musos all night a very memorable concert tribute to Mike Oldfield
Thank you for your performance; a brilliant experience at the Geelong Playhouse. I was transported back to my childhood in the 1970's, listening to the Tubular Bells record. I loved it.

My first visit to the Music Hall and it does the job of the old Festival Hall excellently plus a fair bit extra. First visit of many. Peter.
I really enjoyed night love the venue love the show.
Absolutely magnificent concert. The band was so enthusiastic and professional. Seating was excellent, sound was wonderful, and catering staff were professional and helpful.
This was a wonderful performance from the group of musicians, with enthusiasm and penache. It was an excellent translation of Mike Oldfield's music into a concert. It was wonderful to hear his work. It is associated with so many extraordinary facts - how the music came to him, how young he was, and how he played all the instruments. It really stood out in 1973, and it still does.
Listening to Tubular Bells in it's entirety, I had forgotten how good it really was. It took me back to my childhood. I didn't want the night to end. They really don't make music like that anymore. It's timeless. Mike Oldfield is a musical genius.
I performed first in Mike Oldfields pervious performance at the Captial theatre. He played guitar then whereas this time it was piano and keyboards. Enjoyed the concert but the first song was not my choice. To slow to open with for me, The fabulous Tubular Bells was brilliant! As I perform similar music I listened to every instrument and the sound overall. The percussion played an important additive to add strong dynamics when required by conductor Mike Oldfield.
The theatre was absolutely beautiful and ran like clockwork. The show was lovely but some audience members need to understand the rules apply to them. The staff were on to anything untoward with alacrity.
