The BRIT Awards 2026 is shaping up to be the event of the year, and here in the host city of Manchester, we can’t wait. Now, yet another incredible performer has been announced for the night, as Spanish music star ROSALÍA will take to the stage at this year’s show, marking her first ever BRIT Awards performance.
ROSALÍA announced to perform at the BRIT Awards 2026
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. In the course of her career, ROSALÍA has accumulated thirteen Number 1s in her home country, the most for a local artist, and has won two 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 Gallagher 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.
