Rosalía Returns to Spain With Orchestral ‘Lux’ Tour at a Sold-Out Madrid Arena

The performance marked a clear break from her Motomami era with a grand, ritual style.

Overview

  • Rosalía launched the Spanish leg in Madrid on Monday, returning days after a Milan show was canceled for what she called very serious food poisoning.
  • The production put the 20-piece Orquesta Heritage at center stage under conductor Yudania Gómez Heredia, shifting the focus to a live symphonic sound.
  • The 25-song set blended Lux material with reimagined favorites like “Saoko” and “La fama” and ended with “Magnolias.”
  • Costumes and staging leaned into tutus, lace capes, Renaissance touches and Goya’s Aquelarre, with a giant swinging censer used during “CUUUUuuuuuute.”
  • All four Madrid dates and four in Barcelona are sold out as the tour heads to 17 countries, and the opener drew VIPs such as Ethan Hawke and Pedro Almodóvar.
