FOLLOWING a tour of the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand in 2023 and 2024 to mark the 50th anniversary of Tubular Bells, a new celebration of Mike Oldfield's music is coming our way.

- By MARTIN NEAL

The Best of Tubular Bells I, II and III will come to Croydon as part of a huge tour next year and fans are being promised an “incredible spectacle”.

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 and Tubular Bells III released in 1998.

With each album, Oldfield expands on the themes and theatrical variations he first composed aged 17, continually innovating and pushing boundaries.

The Best of Tubular Bells I, II and III show will feature an expansive live group, led and arranged by Oldfield's long-term collaborator Robin Smith, with extended sections of each album performed, as well as worldwide hit single Moonlight Shadow.
