The Best of Tubular Bells I, II & III Live at De Doelen Rotterdam

Following the hugely successful extended 50th anniversary celebrations across Europe, The Best of Tubular Bells I, II & III returns with an expansive new European tour in autumn 2026. This concert honours the groundbreaking musical legacy of Mike Oldfield’s iconic Tubular Bells trilogy, spanning nearly three decades of innovation, ambition, and genre-defying brilliance. Led and arranged by Oldfield’s long-time collaborator Robin A. Smith, the live performance features a large ensemble and presents Tubular Bells I in full, alongside extended highlights from Tubular Bells II and Tubular Bells III. Audiences will also hear the worldwide hit Moonlight Shadow. From the haunting opening notes made famous by The Exorcist to the electronic textures that later echoed across Ibiza and even the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony, this concert showcases the extraordinary evolution of Oldfield’s music. A bold fusion of classical, jazz, folk, progressive rock, and electronica, Tubular Bells remains the highest-selling instrumental album of all time and a landmark in modern music history. This concert is a rare opportunity to experience these timeless works performed live, celebrating both their original magic and the remarkable technical and musical advances that shaped them into enduring masterpieces.
