The Millennium Bell is the 20th record album by Mike Oldfield, released in 1999. The theme of the album is a reflection of different periods of human history. The album borrows its name from the dawning of the 3rd millennium and from being the fourth installment of Oldfield's Tubular Bells series. It is the most recent entry in the Tubular Bells series to feature all-new material. It was the main work performed at Oldfield's concert for Berlin's new year celebrations on 31 December 1999.
