Spanish pop star Rosalia brought out British singer Lola Young for a confession during her performance at London’s The O2.
Midway through her set at the Greenwich venue, which was watched by Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, Rosalia told the crowd she was about to welcome someone “so special” before bringing out the Messy singer.
Rosalia then took Young into her confession booth, where she told the Berghain singer a story that she had been having sex with a man before he left the room to take a phone call.
She went on to explain that he had left his phone connected to a Bluetooth speaker and she could hear his wife was speaking to him, having thought he was single.
During her Lux World Tour, Rosalia has brought out a number of celebrities to confess humorous stories, including Barcelona footballer Kika Nazareth.
The show began with an orchestra walking to a stage in the middle of the arena to the sound of Jimi Hendrix’s Angel, before striking up into an overture.
They then serenaded Rosalia’s arrival on stage in a white box, which collapsed to reveal the singer in a ballet-like outfit, before she began singing Sexo, Violencia Y Llantas.
She moved through a number of outfit changes which all centred around an angelic white theme, occasionally turning to black.
The set-list drew heavily from her latest album Lux, with fan favourites such as Berghain, Reliquia and La Perla being greeted by screams from an adoring crowd, while she also covered Frankie Valli And The Four Seasons’ Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.
At the start of the performance Rosalia had told the crowd she had always dreamed of performing at the Royal Albert Hall, but said she was happy to have sold out The O2.
She told the crowd “singing for you gives me so much purpose” and thanked them for “continuing to show up”, before promising: “I will show you all the love I have tonight.”
The performance comes as the star was announced as international songwriter of the year at the 2026 Ivor Novello Awards.
Her 2025 album Lux is written in 13 different languages including English, Spanish, Arabic, and German, and a screen was used to tell the audience which language she was singing in and to translate the words into English.
Rosalia, a classically trained musician, has also previously released the albums Los Angeles (2017), El Mal Querer (2018) and Motomami (2022).
Her latest record Lux brought her worldwide fame and saw her popularity grow in the UK, cemented by a highly acclaimed performance at the Brit Awards.
Born in Sant Esteve Sesrovires in Catalonia, Rosalia, whose full name is Rosalia Tobella, is one of the most successful Spanish artists of all time and became the highest-charting female Spanish artist in UK albums chart history when Lux reached number four last year.
The singer is also appearing in the latest season of HBO teen drama Euphoria.
