Following the March 16 opener in Lyon, Rosalía brought her Lux World Tour to Madrid's Movistar Arena on March 30 for 17,000 fans, having recovered from health issues that canceled her upcoming Milan show. The Catalan singer's 1-hour-45-minute performance, structured in four acts, fused sacred music, flamenco, pop, and techno, spotlighting her voice with the Heritage Orchestra and 12 dancers.
Rosalía opened as in the tour's signature style, emerging from a box in a tutú and pointe shoes for 'Sexo, violencia y llantas' and 'Reliquia', radiating confidence post-recovery. "Last week I was a bit unwell, but I'm better now. Thank you Madrid for the welcome you always give me. One night I sang at Casa Patas and felt the duende like nowhere else," the 33-year-old shared in her first speech.
Drawing from opera, dance, and theater—like the Lyon kickoff—the 20-member Heritage Orchestra formed a cross onstage, with choreography by 12 dancers. She focused on Lux tracks including 'Porcelana', 'Berghain', 'La perla', and 'Magnolias', mixed with Motomami hits 'Saoko' and 'Despechá', plus early flamenco nod 'El redentor'.
Standouts featured YouTuber Esty Quesada's confessional cameo for 'La perla', a cover of 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You', and Eurythmics' 'Sweet Dreams' samples. Fans in Lux-inspired outfits cheered alongside celebs like Ethan Hawke, Pedro Almodóvar, and Leiva. Rosalía closed kneeling for 'Magnolias', calling it unforgettable. More Madrid, Lisbon, and Barcelona dates follow.
