Rosalía opened her 2026 world tour in Lyon on March 16, staging an elaborate show to spotlight Lux, her fourth studio album. The concert mixed new material with selections from her earlier work, underscoring a clear change in direction and a high-concept live production that sets the tone for the rest of the run.
At the LDLC Arena the Spanish singer made a theatrical entrance from inside a large box, arriving in a pink tutu and ballet shoes before introducing live arrangements of several recent tracks. Early in the set she presented live debuts of songs from Lux, then moved into the lead single, “Berghain”, supported by an energetic troupe of dancers and finishing the number with a pounding Conrad Taylor techno remix she previously used at the BRIT Awards.
The evening also revisited material from 2022’s Motomami. Clara shifts in costume and staging punctuated the set — at one point the singer adopted an 18th-century–inspired look while performing hits such as “Saoko” and “La Fama,” blending historical imagery with contemporary club sounds.
Why this matters now
With Lux released in November 2025 and written across multiple languages, Rosalía is pushing beyond the reggaeton-inflected territory that defined her earlier breakout. The new album is arranged in four acts and features collaborations with artists including Björk, Yves Tumor and Yahritza Y Su Esencia — choices that point to broader sonic ambitions and an appeal to diverse international audiences.
Her choices onstage — from the theatrical entrance to the remix-centered finale of “Berghain” — suggest the tour will be as much about spectacle and reinvention as about songcraft, a factor likely to shape critical response and ticket demand through Europe and into North America.
