Spanish star Rosalía will perform at The BRIT Awards 2026 with Mastercard, marking the first time she’s performed on the BRIT Awards stage.
Nominated for International Artist of the Year, Rosalía has emerged as Spain’s biggest star, redefining global pop through her fearless fusion of genres and desire to push experimental boundaries. Over her career to date, Rosalía has achieved 13 number 1s in her home Country, won 2 Grammy Awards and 11 Latin Grammy Awards.
Her breakthrough concept album ‘EL MAR QUERER’ saw her demolish the barriers between R&B, hip-hop, pop and flamenco and cement her reputation as one of the most innovative artists of her generation. Her latest album, ‘Lux’, debuted at Number 1 in five countries, saw her perform in 14 different languages and, once again, lay blueprints as an innovative, radical and truly contemporary artist. The album broke the all-time record for most streamed album in a single day, by a Spanish-speaking female artist and it is the highest charting album by a Spanish female artist in Official Chart history and the highest charting album by a Spanish artist since Enrique Iglesias in 2008.
Her global Lux Tour 2026, which begins on 16th March, will see her perform in 15 countries as part of the sweeping 57-show arena run.
The news of ROSALÍA’s debut BRITs performance follows a slew of announcements, including Noel Gallgher as the recipient of Songwriter of the Year, Mark Ronson taking home the Outstanding Contribution to Music award, plus other performers Harry Styles, Olivia Dean and Wolf Alice.
Debuting at its new Manchester home, the Co-op Live, on Saturday 28th February The BRIT Awards will be broadcast live exclusively on ITV and ITVX. Award-winning comedian and writer Jack Whitehall returns to host the show, and the winners of each category will each take home the iconic BRITs trophy, this year conceptualised and designed by internationally acclaimed and Manchester-born designer Matthew Williamson, inspired by his roots to the city.
