The wait is finally over. Three years after the earth-shattering Motomami redefined the boundaries of urban-flamenco, the Spanish visionary Rosalía has returned to the stage. On March 16, the LDLC Arena in Lyon became the epicenter of the music world as the singer launched her highly anticipated Rosalía Lux Tour, supporting her groundbreaking new album 2025, Lux.
The Lux Tour Kickoff: A Theatrical Masterclass in Lyon
From the moment the lights dimmed, it was clear that the Rosalía Lux Tour is less of a concert and more of a high-concept performance art piece. Shifting away from the gritty reggaeton aesthetic of her previous era, Rosalía emerged from a massive box donning a pink tutu and ballet slippers—a bold visual choice that signaled the start of her Lux live debuts.
The LDLC Arena Lyon setlist was a gift to die-hard fans, featuring 11 world premieres. Tracks like “Sexo, Violencia y Llantas” and the ethereal “Mio Cristo Piange Diamanti” set a haunting, baroque tone early on. However, the energy shifted into overdrive during “Berghain,” where she integrated the thumping Conrad Taylor techno remix that first sent shockwaves through the BRIT Awards.
Art, Accountability, and the Picasso Controversy
While the music took center stage, the shadow of a recent controversy loomed over the week. During a Spotify Presenta podcast, Rosalía had initially defended the idea of “separating the art from the artist” regarding Pablo Picasso. Following a wave of backlash concerning the painter’s documented history of abuse toward women, the singer took a moment of radical honesty to address her fans.
The Rosalía Picasso apology was raw and unfiltered. “I wasn’t at peace with what I said,” she admitted in a video shared just before the tour began. She confessed to a “lack of knowledge” and expressed deep empathy for the survivors, proving that even at the height of her fame, she is committed to listening. This vulnerability added a layer of human depth to the Lyon performance, making her transition into “La Perla”—a song she recently dedicated to Palestine—all the more poignant.
