Rosalía LUX Tour in Mexico

Overview

Spanish artist Rosalía is performing her LUX Tour in Mexico. During a concert at the Arena Monterrey, she performed an improvised cover of Bad Bunny’s ‘Safaera’ and incorporated a shot of tequila into her routine as a nod to local culture. As the tour moved to Mexico City for performances at the Palacio de los Deportes, Rosalía shared that her song ‘La Perla’ was inspired by the Mexican ranchera singer Paquita la del Barrio, specifically the track ‘Rata de dos patas’. During the first of five scheduled performances before approximately 16,500 people, she stated, ‘Without “Rata de dos patas”, “La Perla” does not exist.’ Rosalía noted the similarities between flamenco and ranchera music while paying tribute to the legacy of Paquita la del Barrio, who passed away in February 2025. The song ‘La Perla’, which appears on her 2025 album, was recorded as a duet with the Mexican-American trio Yahritza y Su Esencia. The Mexico City shows also included a guest appearance by Kenia Os during a ‘confessional’ segment, where Os shared personal stories regarding past infidelity that became a viral moment. Beyond her musical performances, Rosalía has engaged with local culture in Mexico City by visiting the La Lagunilla market, independent bookstores, and vintage clothing stores. During a visit to the La Lagunilla market in August 2026, she interacted with fans and received gifts. However, hours after her departure from the area, a shooting occurred that caused panic among merchants and visitors. Local authorities reported that a victim was assaulted and shot by four individuals, leading to the detention of six youths and the seizure of a firearm and suspected marijuana. Authorities have stated there is no link between the artist and the violence.
