About This Event
ROSALÍA: LUX Tour 2026 Is Coming to Antwerp and It Will Be Unlike Any Concert You've Ever Seen
Some concerts are events. Some are experiences. And then there's ROSALÍA. On Monday, April 27, 2026, the Spanish global superstar brings her groundbreaking LUX Tour 2026 to the AFAS Dome in Antwerp, and by all accounts, calling it a concert undersells it. This is a full sensory spectacle — art, music, and visual production colliding into something that the world's music press has already run out of superlatives to describe.
After previous performances at Forest National and the main stage at Rock Werchter, Antwerp marks ROSALÍA's triumphant return to Belgium, this time at the biggest indoor stage in the country. If you have even a passing interest in music that pushes every imaginable boundary, this is the show you do not want to miss in 2026.
Who Is ROSALÍA? The Artist Rewriting the Rules of Global Pop
ROSALÍA Vila Tobella grew up in Sant Esteve Sesrovires, a small town near Barcelona in Catalonia, Spain. She trained at the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya, where she devoted herself to flamenco at a time when almost no young artist from her generation was doing so. That early commitment to a deeply traditional art form became the foundation for one of the most singular careers in modern music.
Her 2017 debut album Los Ángeles earned her a Latin Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. But the real earthquake came in 2018 with El mal querer, a flamenco-rooted concept album that blew every critical expectation out of the water. Rolling Stone placed it at number 315 on their 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list, making it the highest-ranked Spanish-language album in the entire list. It won Latin Grammys for Album of the Year, Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Album, Best Engineered Album, and Best Recording Package, as well as the Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album.
Then came Motomami in 2022 and another record fell. At the 2022 Latin Grammy Awards, the album swept all four of its nominated categories, and ROSALÍA became the first woman and only the sixth act overall to win Latin Grammy Album of the Year twice as a lead artist. A Grammy for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album followed in 2023.
Her full trophy count now includes 2 Grammy Awards, 11 Latin Grammy Awards, 1 BRIT Award, 4 MTV Video Music Awards, and 2 MTV Europe Music Awards. She is also the first and only artist ever to be nominated for Best New Artist at both the Grammy Awards and the Latin Grammy Awards.
LUX: The Album That Left Critics Speechless
ROSALÍA's fourth studio album, LUX, was released in late 2025, and the response from the music world was immediate and unanimous: this is something genuinely exceptional.
The album blends contemporary pop with operatic influences and classical music elements, and features a collaboration with the London Symphony Orchestra alongside guest appearances from Björk and Yves Tumor. Rolling Stone called it "a genuinely timeless piece of art" that "no other pop artist could have crafted." Rolling Stone Brazil gave it a perfect 5 out of 5, calling it proof that "there is no ready-made recipe for a good album." Rolling Stone UK agreed, giving it another 5 out of 5 and describing it as "an astonishingly ambitious opus."
On Metacritic, LUX became the second best-reviewed album of 2025 and the 18th best-reviewed album of all time. The lead single "Berghain" broke the Spotify record for the most streams in one day by a female Spanish-language artist, with 42.1 million streams in a single day.
These are not ordinary numbers. These are the kind of milestones that mark a generational artistic statement. Hearing this material performed live at the AFAS Dome in Antwerp on April 27 is about as close to a once-in-a-generation concert experience as 2026 is going to offer.
The LUX Tour 2026: ROSALÍA's Most Ambitious Tour to Date
The LUX Tour is the most extensive headlining tour ROSALÍA has ever undertaken. It began in Europe in March and covers the continent's biggest arenas before crossing the Atlantic to North America in June and wrapping in Puerto Rico in September. The full European stretch includes stops in:
- Lyon
- Paris (two nights at the Accor Arena)
- Zürich
- Milan
- Four nights in Madrid
- Two nights in Lisbon
- Four nights in Barcelona's Palau Sant Jordi
- Two nights in Amsterdam
- Antwerp
- Cologne
- Berlin
- London's O2 Arena
The Antwerp date on April 27 sits right between Amsterdam (April 22–23) and Cologne (April 29), placing the AFAS Dome in the heart of one of the most stacked stretches of the entire world tour. The fact that Belgium earned a spot on a routing that includes four nights in Barcelona and two nights in Paris says everything about how seriously this country's audience is being taken.
What the Show at AFAS Dome Antwerp Will Be Like
The AFAS Dome itself describes the LUX Tour as "a show where art, music, and the unique artistic vision of the Spanish superstar merge into an impressive whole." That's not marketing language — it's an accurate description of what ROSALÍA's live shows deliver.
Expect a set built around the full LUX album alongside material from Motomami and El mal querer, presented through a production that reportedly combines live orchestral elements, choreography, and visual art in ways that feel genuinely theatrical rather than just concert-like. The approximate show length is 2 hours 30 minutes, giving plenty of time to move between the sweeping classical arrangements of LUX, the hypnotic flamenco-electronic fusion of El mal querer, and the experimental reggaeton and R&B of Motomami.
ROSALÍA has always treated her live shows as complete works in their own right. This tour, built around an album that critics are already calling a masterpiece, is not a backdrop for the music. It's a continuation of it.

Antwerp: A City Worth Arriving Early For
There is something poetic about ROSALÍA performing in Antwerp. The city has always had a deep appreciation for the collision of tradition and avant-garde thinking — in architecture, in fashion, and in art. It's a city that produced Dries Van Noten and the Antwerp Six, designers who changed the way the world thought about fashion in the same way ROSALÍA has changed the way the world thinks about music. The cultural resonance here runs deep.
Exploring Antwerp Before the Show
The AFAS Dome sits in Merksem at Schijnpoortweg 119, about 20 minutes from the heart of the city. If you're making a full day of it, here's how to spend it:
- Het Zuid is Antwerp's creative heart, home to independent galleries, art house cinemas, and some of the best restaurants in Belgium. A pre-show dinner here, surrounded by the neighbourhood's creative energy, is the ideal warm-up for a ROSALÍA concert.
- The Cathedral of Our Lady (Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal), with its towering Gothic spire, contains works by Rubens and is one of the most impressive interiors in Northern Europe. Well worth an afternoon visit.
- Grote Markt and the medieval guild houses surrounding it are picturesque and packed with cafes and terrace seating, perfect on an April evening.
- MAS (Museum aan de Stroom) offers a rooftop panoramic view across the Scheldt port that pairs beautifully with the kind of reflective afternoon you want before a great concert.
- The Meir, Antwerp's main shopping street, connects the city centre to all major transit links and is a lively spot for a pre-show stroll.

One Night in Antwerp That You Will Not Forget
There are artists who fill arenas, and then there are artists who transform them. ROSALÍA is emphatically in the second category. With LUX already being described as one of the greatest albums of the 21st century, this tour is not simply a live performance of music. It is a fully realised artistic experience that happens to take place in a concert venue.
Antwerp's AFAS Dome on April 27, 2026, is your opportunity to witness that in person. Get your tickets through the AFAS Dome official website or Live Nation Belgium, book your evening in this magnificent city, and show up ready to be genuinely moved. This is one of the defining concerts of 2026, and Belgium is lucky to have a date on the map.
