LONDON — Singer Duffy performed a live concert at Hoxton Hall in London on July 5, 2026. The event marked her first headlining performance in nearly 15 years.

Duffy announced the concert in June 2026, telling fans, "I'm doing a secret intimate gig in London on the 5th July, next month, and I would love nothing more than for some of you to attend." She also stated, "It's only small capacity so we can only select a few, but really looking forward to it. I will sing some new songs." Tickets for the event were distributed through a fan ballot, and the concert venue remained undisclosed until the day of the performance.

During the concert, Duffy performed songs from her previous catalog and introduced new material, including "Warwick Avenue." In a statement made in May 2026, she said, "If only I could find the right words to explain how much I've missed you all. Working on coming back to you."

Duffy released her debut album, Rockferry, in 2008. The album earned her a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album in 2009. That same year, she received nominations for the Grammy Award for Best New Artist and for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for her song "Mercy." Her last studio album, Endlessly, was released in 2010.

In 2020, Duffy stated that she had been drugged, kidnapped, and sexually assaulted. She said this incident led to depression and her decision to step away from the music industry.
