Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club’s first-floor venue, known as Upstairs at Ronnie’s, will reopen on February 6, 2026, after being transformed into a “purpose-built” 140-capacity auditorium with state-of-the-art Yamaha and D&B Audio systems.
The newly reimagined space offers “an intimate, world-class performance space” with cutting-edge acoustics.
The coming months will see a variety of performances in the venue, including shows by celebrated acts such as the Ronnie Scott’s Gospel Choir, the club’s new Piano Trio Series, the first Vocal Jazz Jam hosted by Jamie Safir with Natalie Williams, Emma Smith, and Georgia Cécile, among others.
Olivier Award winner Cassidy Janson is also set to perform a celebration of musical theatre classics with a jazz twist.
There will also be performances from British soul singer Tawiah and the Chineke! String Quartet.
The venue is not only aiming to present renowned artists but will also offer a platform for emerging talent in its Late Late Show, hosted by Tomorrow’s Warriors, and for the first time, a Classical Series will feature the Ronnie Scott’s Classical All Stars reimagining iconic works.
The Close-Up Classical Series will pair cultural figures in conversation with James Pearson and Lizzie Ball.
David Arnold and Juliet Stevenson are among the guests lined up to chat with the pair.
The full diary of concerts in the venue from February up until April are now available on the website for booking.
