Duffy has returned to play her first live show in 15 years following her horrific kidnap and assault ordeal.
The Welsh singer stayed out of the public eye and the music industry around that time, later revealing on social media that she had been “raped and drugged and held captive over some days” and that her recovery following this ordeal “took time”.
Last month, the Mercy singer had announced her return to the stage with a "secret intimate" venue in London on July 5, her first live show in 15 years.
The show took place at London's Hoxton Hall on July 5, with Setlist.FM reporting that Duffy played a set list of seven songs, including new material ‘Woman’ and ‘One In A Million’, as well as fan favourites ‘Warwick Avenue’ and ‘Mercy’, followed by more new music: ‘Blue’, ‘Amen’ and ‘Joy’.
At the time of writing, no footage of this show was shared online, with some fans revealing that it was a "phone free", with the show being filmed professionally for Duffy's upcoming documentary for Disney+, covering her rise to fame, growing up in Wales, and subsequent withdrawal from the music world.
It will feature interviews with family members, friends and her peers in the music industry. No release date was confirmed at the time of writing.

Duffy's show was met with a huge seal of approval by many fans on social media.
“I was just front row to experience Duffy performing Warwick Avenue live in 2026. I’m GAGGED! That voice is insane,” one fan wrote on X. “It was at Hoxton Hall! It was part of her doc so no filming was allowed sadly but she sounds incredible! The new songs are quite heavy but very valid!”
