Rosalía continues to consolidate her place as one of the most influential artists in global music. The Catalan singer will be one of the main protagonists of the BRIT Awards 2026, a historic edition in which she will not only make her debut as a guest artist on the prestigious British stage, but will also mark a before and after by becoming the first Spaniard to be nominated in the Best International Artist category.
An achievement that confirms the international impact of his career and the strength of his artistic proposal.
The organization of the awards announced the news through their social networks with a message that quickly went viral and ignited the conversation among fans and critics: Rosalía will make her official debut at the BRITs with a highly anticipated performance.
The gala will be held on Saturday 28th and the artist’s presentation can also be followed on YouTube, allowing her performance to reach a global audience.
Rosalía and LUX ‘s long-awaited debut at the BRITs
Rosalía’s performance at the BRIT Awards adds to the few live performances she has given recently with LUX, her new musical project. The first one took place at the LOS40 Music Awards Santander last November, where she performed the song Reliquia. Subsequently, the artist appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she surprised the American audience with La Perla. Her third appearance was in January, during the benefit concert Act for Palestine in Barcelona.
Now, Rosalía will take one of the songs from LUX to the stage of the most important British music awards, reinforcing the international character of this new creative stage. Expectations are high, especially in an edition where artists such as Lola Young, Olivia Dean and Lily Allen are among the favorites of the night.
The 2026 edition of the BRIT Awards will be particularly significant for several reasons. For the first time in its history, the ceremony will not be held in London, but in Manchester, specifically at the Co-op Live Arena, considered the most modern venue in the UK. This change of venue symbolizes a new stage for the awards and reinforces their intention to expand their reach and cultural relevance.
Rosalía will compete in the Best International Artist category against some of the biggest names in the music industry today, including Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, Taylor Swift and Doechii, among others. The mere fact of appearing on this list already represents a milestone for Spanish music, which has rarely been present in the main categories of the BRIT Awards.
A symbolic reunion with Harry Styles
The gala will also have an anecdotal and symbolic component for the artist, as she will coincide again with Harry Styles. Both starred in one of the most viral stories of recent years when Rosalía told The Tonight Show that Styles had sent her a message to the wrong number to congratulate her on her song Dolerme. The funny response from the unknown recipient and the way in which the Catalan showed the live capture unleashed the audience’s laughter.
Beyond the anecdote, the connection between the two artists goes back a long way. Rosalía was the narrator of the introduction of the extended music video for Adore You in 2019, one of Styles’ most celebrated works, consolidating a creative complicity that continues to arouse interest among his followers.
