The Spanish sensation Rosalía has once again proved why she's a must-see act. With the ticket prices soaring, fans expect nothing short of magic – and Rosalía delivers. On Wednesday, July 1, the Kia Forum in Inglewood was transformed into a captivating ballet-inspired venue, perfectly setting the stage for Rosalía's theatrical entrance.
Emerging from a crate like a musical ballerina, she began the night with “Sexo, violencia y llantas,” a track from her critically acclaimed album Lux. This album, hailed as her best work featuring over a dozen languages, saw her collaborating with the prestigious London Symphony Orchestra. Fans were treated to a live orchestra performance, adding an extra layer of grandeur to the night.
“L.A., I know you didn’t come to this show just to cry, OK?” Rosalía cheekily asked her fans, ensuring the night was as much about dancing as it was about heartstring-tugging performances.
Rosalía's shows are never short of celebrity encounters. At this stop, she gave a heartfelt shoutout to her "Euphoria" co-star and best friend, Alexa Demie, with a touching rendition of “Mio Cristo Piange Diamanti.” The audience was captivated by the bond shared on stage.
The night took a dramatic turn during the confessional skit, a staple of the Lux tour. This time, Odessa A’zion, star of "Marty Supreme," joined Rosalía on stage, bringing a tale of romance and intrigue that had the audience riveted. The confessionals offer an intimate glimpse into the lives of Rosalía's inner circle, blending real-life drama with the theatrical spectacle.
Rosalía didn't stop at emotional ballads – she energized the crowd with hits like “Berghain” and “Saoko,” making sure every fan was on their feet. A visual marvel, the stage featured an innovative LED screen displaying translations of her multifaceted lyrics, emphasizing the global appeal of her music.
The show concluded with Rosalía amidst her adoring fans, beautifully bridging the gap between artist and audience. The Lux tour is a unique blend of stunning visuals, theatrical performances, and heartfelt moments, marking it as an unmissable event.
Rosalía is set to continue her tour in San Diego on July 3 and Oakland on July 6, before moving onto South America. The global tour will wrap up in Miami this September, promising many more magical nights to come.
