The 2026 BRIT Awards witnessed a remarkable spectacle as Rosalía delivered the first live performance of her new symphonic track, “Berghain”, a moment elevated further by the unexpected appearance of Icelandic avant-garde artist Björk. This historic collaboration marked the first time the two icons shared a stage for a live rendition of a song.
Rosalía appeared in an expressive white ensemble, opening the performance with an operatic segment in German, accompanied by the Heritage Orchestra and members of the semi-circular choir, clad in matching blazers. The stage was imbued with a sense of drama and precision, culminating in a striking moment when Björk stepped between Rosalía and the choir. Björk’s signature avant-garde outfit, featuring a delicately beaded headpiece seemingly floating in the air, captivated the audience and added an ethereal dimension to the performance.
The finale saw Rosalía joined by her dancers in a dynamic choreography, with heavy synths, strobe lighting, and electronic beats creating a sensory explosion reminiscent of Berlin’s legendary Berghain nightclub. The performance successfully bridged symphonic elegance with modern electronic energy, leaving the audience mesmerised.
Since the release of her Lux album in November, Rosalía has offered only a limited number of live shows, performing tracks such as “Reliquia” and “La Perla”. Each appearance has grown increasingly theatrical and immersive, making the BRIT Awards rendition of “Berghain” a tantalising preview of the Lux World Tour.
