Amy Winehouse’s original band will tour the UK this autumn to mark 20 years since the release of Back To Black. The 30-date run, led by her longtime musical director and bassist Dale Davis, begins at York Barbican on 22 October.
Tickets go on sale at 10am on 20 February via Ticketmaster.
The group will perform Back To Black in full, alongside other songs from Winehouse’s catalogue.
Dale Davis On Revisiting A “Timeless Classic”
Speaking to The York Press, Dale Davis reflected on the album’s legacy:
“I can’t believe that it’s the 20th anniversary of Back to Black this year.
“When I congratulated Amy on the success of this incredible album, she said to me, not with any arrogance, ‘I knew what I was doing’, and, at that moment, I realised that she knew exactly what she had created.
“It’s still an honour, pleasure and privilege to be performing these songs from this timeless classic.”
Released in 2006, Back To Black propelled Winehouse to international recognition. The album won five Grammy Awards in 2008, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year for “Rehab”.
The band completed a sold-out UK tour last year and has previously performed across Europe, Asia, North America and South America.
Amy Winehouse’s Legacy
Winehouse died on 23 July 2011 at the age of 27 from accidental alcohol poisoning. A coroner recorded the cause of death as alcohol toxicity, describing it as “misadventure”. She was found at her home in Camden, London.
Her life and career have since been explored in the 2015 documentary Amy and the 2024 biopic Back To Black.
Following her death, her family established the Amy Winehouse Foundation to support young people affected by drug and alcohol misuse.
The anniversary tour will revisit the album that defined her career and remains one of the most influential British releases of the 2000s.
