Brit Awards 2026: watch Björk's surprise performance with Rosalía for "Berghain"

At the Brit Awards 2026, Rosalía brought the first-ever live performance of “Berghain” to the stage, turning one of the night's key moments into a full-blown event. As a surprise, Björk appeared by her side: it was the first time the two artists had shared a stage.

The show opened with a German-language introduction set to an almost operatic register, with Rosalía at the centre of a stage design built around an orchestra and choir. Behind her stood the Heritage Orchestra, arranged in symphonic formation, while a choir positioned in a semicircle marked the song's entrance. The structure, consistent with the orchestral framework that defines the album, gradually gave way to Björk's voice, who entered with her hypnotic verse, backed by arrangements weaving together strings and electronic textures.

The final section flipped the initial mood on its head: heavy synths, strobe lights and electronic beats turned the stage into a clubbing environment, explicitly evoking the imagery of the famous Berlin venue that gives the track its title. Rosalía led a tight choreographed section alongside the dancers, closing the performance on a compact rhythmic climax.

The Catalan singer, honoured as Best International Artist, was up against names such as Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Tyler, The Creator.

Since the release of “Lux” in November 2025, Rosalía has performed only a handful of tracks from the album live, including “Reliquia” and “La Perla”. Each performance has heightened the project's theatrical side, and the staging of “Berghain” at the Brit Awards offers a glimpse of what to expect from the Lux World Tour, kicking off on 16 March in Lyon. The tour will run for 42 dates across Europe, North America and South America. Given that the album was recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra, bringing an orchestral ensemble into the live shows looks like a concrete possibility, in keeping with the project's symphonic ambitions.
