Rosalía dazzles London with a Lux tour that feels like art
Rosalía turns The O2 into a living museum, blending ballet, orchestral flair, and club energy in a breathtaking Lux performance.
Rosalía’s Lux tour lands in London with a show at The O2 that feels more like an evolving installation than a conventional concert. Before the first note, classical music fills the arena and a painter’s canvas looms above the stage, signaling that a masterpiece is being prepared behind the scenes. The atmosphere primes the crowd for something immersive and sculptural from the Spanish artist.
When the canvas panels part, the set reveals blocks draped in dust covers and dancers poised on plinths. Two sides of the canvas slide apart to disclose what’s hidden behind, and Rosalía emerges, moving from graceful ballet transitions into intense modern-dance moments. An orchestra sits at the centre of the arena, guiding the night while heavy bass and beats flood the space, anchoring each song in a grand, live texture.
Musically, Lux centers on material from the ambitious 2025 album, with Rosalía singing in multiple languages and blending high art with pulsing club energy. Highlights include Sexo, Violencia y Llantas, Reliquia, and the first half of Porcelana, then a ferocious take on Divinize. A standout moment comes with Mio Cristo Piange Diamanti, where she’s shrouded in a white robe, diamond tears glimmering as she moves. Berghain-height energy follows, turning the faux-museum into a late-night club. A cover of Frankie Valli’s Can’t Take My Eyes Off You punctuates the set, inviting a knowing smile from the crowd.
Throughout the night, the live orchestra on the arena floor grounds the performance while visuals and choreography push the show from sculpture to spectacle. The result is a concert that feels less like a gig and more like an art installation—bold, theatrical, and deeply immersive.
