Fans in Germany and the UK can follow how Back to Black’s anniversary tour, tribute dates and chart return fit into Amy Winehouse’s wider body of work.
German tribute shows bring her songs back to local stages

Further German dates in Bonn, Hamburg and Berlin
Beyond the spring run, additional German events extend the opportunity to hear her songs on stage. A concert listing platforms a “Tribute to Amy Winehouse” show at Harmonie in Bonn for November 7, 2026 at 8:00 p.m., with ticket prices starting around 40 euros and the venue address in the city’s Frongasse district.
In Hamburg, the project The Amy Project announces a tribute night on September 26, 2026 at Maria’s Ballroom in Harburg, focusing on Winehouse’s songs alongside broader soul material and advertising advance ticket prices just over 20 euros, while Berlin’s Estrel Showtheater has scheduled a multi-date run of Always Amy between October 16 and November 1, 2026.
The musical core of Amy Winehouse’s work
Amy Winehouse’s recorded legacy rests primarily on two studio albums. Her debut Frank, released in 2003, introduced a blend of jazz, soul and hip-hop inflections that set her apart in the British scene, while Back to Black in 2006 sharpened this mix into tightly written songs with strong Motown and girl-group references.
Tracks such as Rehab, You Know I’m No Good, Tears Dry on Their Own and the title song Back to Black combine sharp, autobiographical lyrics with arrangements steeped in 1960s soul, produced in large part by Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, and have become staples for tribute bands who now carry them to stages in Germany, the UK and beyond.
Current status of her legacy
Amy Winehouse herself died in July 2011 and does not perform; the next confirmed live opportunity in Germany to hear a full evening built around her songs is the tribute show Always Amy - A Tribute to Amy Winehouse at Berlin’s Estrel Showtheater on October 17, 2026 at 8:00 p.m.
