Earlier this year, Rosalía tore up the BRITS stage with a jaw-dropping performance of “Berghain”—a Baroque-inspired masterpiece featuring Björk, Yves Tumor and one of London’s classical music crown jewels — the London Symphony Orchestra. Now, the Spanish singer brings her Lux Tour 2026 to London for two sold-out shows at The O2, culminating in a final, unmissable performance tonight, Wednesday 6 May.
Rosalía Lux Tour London: what to expect at The O2 tonight
Doors open at 6:30pm and Rosalía is set to take the stage at The O2 at around 8:45pm. The setlist includes most of Lux, plus songs from her third studio album Motomami and a cover of “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”.
In previous shows, the Catalan-born star has invited famous faces to the stage’s confessional booth before performing “La Perla”. Previous invitees include Bad Gyal, Aitana,
Najwa Nimr and London’s very own Lola Young.
Fans have been speculating online about potential confessional booth guests for the second London show. The names circling include British singers and close friends like Charli XCX and James Blake, Lux collaborators like Björk or Sílvia Pérez Cruz and even Pep Guardiola, who was reportedly spotted at the first London show.
Why Rosalía chose the London Symphony Orchestra for “Berghain”
Founded over 120 years ago, the London Symphony Orchestra is one of the world’s most historic musical ensembles— and an orchestra of many firsts. They were the first British orchestra to perform overseas in Paris in 1906 and also to tour the US in 1912. They’re also the most recorded orchestra in the world, with a back catalogue that spans over 200 film soundtracks including scores from Star Wars, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones and Superman.
Conducted by Daníel Bjarnason, who also serves as executive producer of Rosalía’s upcoming album Lux set for release on 7 November, the London Symphony Orchestra brings its legendary sound to the Spanish singer’s groundbreaking new track “Berghain”.
For those inspired by the fusion of cinematic strings and contemporary sound, London’s summer calendar offers plenty of opportunities to experience iconic film scores performed on strings in an intimate setting—find out more here.
Behind Rosalía’s Berghain: Baroque inspirations and surprise collaborations
“Berghain” draws inspiration from the fast, dramatic string sounds of the Italian Baroque era but with Rosalía’s own experimental twist. Performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, the song’s classical arrangement taps into the rhythmic intensity of works by Vivaldi — you might have heard of his famous Four Seasons or Bassoon Concerto in E Minor.
True to her revolutionary spirit, Rosalía fuses the classical string arrangements by LSO with the sounds of youth choir Escolania de Montserrat and her own operatic vocals (sung in German, mind you). And just when you think there’s nowhere else for the song to go, Björk and Yves Tumor add dreamy, art pop vibes with experimental, almost psychedelic electronic sounds. It’s the ultimate musical flex that reminds us why Rosalía is one of today’s most compelling artists.
