The BRIT Awards 2026 has confirmed that global phenomenon Rosalía will make her highly anticipated performance debut at the ceremony on Saturday, 28th February. Emanating from the awards' new home at Co-op Live in Manchester, the performance serves as a high-octane prelude to the UK leg of her gargantuan Lux World Tour, tickets below.
A Global Icon Lands in Manchester
Rosalía, nominated for International Artist of the Year, arrives in the UK following the record-breaking success of her latest album, Lux. The project not only debuted at Number 1 in five countries but also became the highest-charting album by a Spanish female artist in Official Chart history.
Her appearance at the BRITs—hosted by Jack Whitehall—places her alongside a heavy-hitting lineup including Harry Styles, Wolf Alice, and Olivia Dean. The performance is timed perfectly to ignite momentum for her upcoming 57-show arena run.
The Lux World Tour 2026: UK Dates
Following her stop in Manchester for the BRITs, Rosalía will officially kick off her global tour on 16th March. The "Lux Tour" is a massive undertaking spanning 15 countries, with the UK dates expected to be the crown jewels of the European leg.
While the full 57-show itinerary covers a sweeping arena circuit, UK fans are gearing up for what is being described as a "radical and innovative" live experience. Rosalía is expected to perform hits in multiple languages, blending the avant-garde flamenco-fusion of El Mar Querer with the chart-topping pop brilliance of Lux.
Celebrating Music in the North
The 2026 awards also shine a spotlight on Northern excellence, with Manchester-born designer Matthew Williamson conceptualizing this year’s "Worker Bee" inspired trophy. Additionally, the BRITs Fringe program will take over Manchester in the week leading up to the ceremony, celebrating the city's vibrant live music scene.
With Rosalía’s tour rehearsals reportedly pushing experimental boundaries, her February 28th performance at Co-op Live will offer a definitive first look at the most anticipated live show of the year.
