Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells Tour on the road with EM Acoustics’ Halo and EMS series

A celebration of Mike Oldfield’s debut album “Tubular Bells”, the Tubular Bells 50th Anniversary Tour has recently finished up its UK concert circuit. The concert tour, conducted and arranged by Oldfield’s long-term collaborator Robin Smith, featured the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, who performed the entire album in sold-out venues across the UK in the Spring of 2023.

An EM Acoustics system, consisting of Halo and EMS series loudspeakers, accompanied the tour and was deployed in a total of 32 venues over the course of two months. AV installation and rental company Show Works became involved in the project during the initial phases, having worked closely with the event’s producers on previous projects.

Show Works specified an EM Acoustics system consisting of Halo-B and Halo-C as well as EMS-129s and EMS-81s. Two DQ20 amplifiers were deployed to drive the main part of the system. “I used XLRs in failover mode in case the Dante network went down, but it was fairly smooth throughout the tour”, says Tubular Bells Tour Sound Engineer Sam Ferstenberg.
