Back to Black turns twenty under the Roundhouse roof

Producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi have announced a one-night-only concert with The Amy Winehouse Band to mark the twentieth anniversary of Back to Black. The event takes place at London’s Roundhouse in Camden on 21 October 2026.

The band will perform the album in full, joined by guest vocalists including Jorja Smith, FLO, Corinne Bailey Rae, Lianne La Havas, Jessie Reyez, Yebba, Baby Rose and Sasha Keable. Tickets go on general sale on 1 October 2026 via Metropolis Music. A pre-sale is available to anyone who pre-orders the twentieth-anniversary edition of the album before 28 September 2026.

The night is a standalone tribute.

The album that still leads

Amy Jade Winehouse was an English singer and songwriter, known for her deep, expressive contralto and an eclectic mix of soul, rhythm and blues, reggae and jazz. Her debut album, Frank, arrived in 2003 and set out a writer already in full command of melody and tone. Back to Black followed in 2006. It remains the record that fixed her place in British pop: tight songwriting, clear debts to Motown and 1960s girl groups, and a voice that cut through the arrangements without ornament.

Mark Ronson produced Back to Black and won the Grammy Award for Producer of the Year for that work. The single Rehab also took Record of the Year. Ronson had already been active as a DJ and producer; the album put him at the centre of the records that defined mid-2000s British and American pop. Salaam Remi, another producer closely tied to Winehouse’s catalogue, joins him in presenting this anniversary show.

Winehouse died in 2011. The posthumous album Lioness: Hidden Treasures was released the same year. Further releases have kept the archive in view, among them the soundtrack album Amy in 2015, At The BBC in 2021 and the Stronger Than Me EP in 2023. None of those sets replace the two studio albums she completed. Frank and Back to Black still carry the weight of the work, and both remain daily listening for audiences who discovered her then and for those who found the songs later.

One night, the full sequence

Staging the album in order with a rotating cast of singers is a direct way to mark twenty years without turning the evening into a museum piece or a single impersonation. The guests named for 21 October — Jorja Smith, FLO, Corinne Bailey Rae, Lianne La Havas, Jessie Reyez, Yebba, Baby Rose and Sasha Keable — all work in soul, R&B and British pop with a strong vocal centre — the ground Winehouse helped open.

Ronson’s own path since 2006 has run through further hit singles, film scores and a long list of Grammy wins, including major awards tied to the Barbie soundtrack. Bringing him back to the album he helped shape, with Remi beside him, keeps the Camden date tied to the people who framed the original record rather than to a generic tribute brand.

General sale for the Roundhouse opens on 1 October through Metropolis Music. Pre-order of the anniversary edition before 28 September unlocks the earlier ticket window.

Listeners who want more of The Amy Winehouse Band itself still have other performances across the final months of 2026. The 21 October concert is neither a warm-up nor a closer for that run; it is one night built around one album.

Twenty years on, Back to Black sounds like a finished statement rather than a period piece. A full-album show with the producers who made it and with singers who work in the same territory is a clear way to mark the anniversary without dressing it as something else.
