Mike Oldfield celebrates 50 years of tubular Bells with a large revival!

Wien, Österreich - The legendary musician Mike Oldfield, known for his groundbreaking album "Tubular Bells", will not visit his own anniversary tour. As the Today.at reports, Oldfield will not appear on March 20, 2025 in the Vienna Stadthalle and on March 21st in the Linz Posthof. Der britische Ausnahmekünstler, der die Progressive-Rock-Szene in den 1970er Jahren revolutionierte, kündigte 2023 seinen Rückzug aus dem Musikgeschäft an und wird somit leider auch bei diesen besonderen Feierlichkeiten, die das 50-jährige Bestehen seines berühmten Debüts feiern sollen, nicht dabei sein.

Oldfield's success with "Tubular Bells", which was published in 1973, was shaped by its profound sound worlds, which range from classical to ambient. This album sold over 2.7 million times in the UK and stayed in the charts for 288 weeks. Die Eröffnungsmusik wurde sogar in dem berühmten Horrorfilm „Der Exorzist“ verwendet, was zur Popularität des Albums beitrug, wie auch Wikipedia erklärt. Oldfield's musical journey stretched over 26 studio albums, whereby its influence goes far beyond the rock genre.
