Rosalía's Lux Tour Brings Flamenco Fusion to London's O2 Arena

other · 2026-05-06

Spanish pop star Rosalía performed two sold-out shows at London's O2 Arena on her Lux tour, drawing 40,000 fans over two nights. The Barcelona-born artist, who won the Brit Award for International Artist in February, delivered a high-concept show blending flamenco, opera, hip-hop, and techno, with religious and secular iconography. She appeared as Mona Lisa and a Degas ballerina, and brought out English pop star Lola Young for a confessional segment. The 33-year-old's performance featured the 22-piece Heritage Orchestra conducted by Yudania Gómez Heredia from a crucifix-shaped stage. Her album Lux incorporates 14 languages and explores themes of devotion and humanity. Rosalía recalled dreaming of playing the Royal Albert Hall but instead sold out the O2 Arena twice.
