Rosalía: watch her surprise performance at Act X Palestine in Barcelona. She'll also appear in the "Euphoria" series

Rosalía made a surprise appearance on stage at Act X Palestine, the benefit concert in support of Palestine held at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona and broadcast by Spanish public television. The Catalan artist performed "La perla" live, a track from her latest album "Lux", in front of thousands of spectators. The event was aired on TVE's La 2, the equivalent of Rai2, confirming the national significance of the initiative. At the start of her performance, Rosalía greeted the audience with a simple "Bona nit, Barcelona", receiving a long ovation, and expressed her gratitude for the invitation and for the meaning behind the charity event.

As reported on the public broadcaster's website, the concert was covered live on TVE2 by Consol Sáenz of Radio 3 and on La 2Cat by Xavi Martínez of Ràdio 4. Act X Palestine is part of a wider international campaign that in recent months has promoted similar events in several countries, combining music with civic testimony.

About twenty artists took turns on stage. Alongside Rosalía, the lineup included Amaia, Bad Gyal, Morad, Oques Grasses, Mushka, Yerai Cortés, Fermín Muguruza and Xavi Sarrià, with contributions from figures of Catalan culture such as Lluís Llach, Gemma Humet, Alguer Miquel, La Fura dels Baus and Eduard Fernández.

The evening was opened by Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, who appeared with a Palestinian keffiyeh around his neck. In his remarks, he recalled images of children amid the rubble of Gaza as a symbol of collective abandonment, stating that the bombs "want to provoke silence" and urging the audience not to forget decades of denied freedom for the Palestinian people.

In 2025 "Lux" marked one of the most significant moments in Rosalía's career. The album achieved strong commercial and critical success, quickly climbing international charts. Praised for its blend of sonic experimentation and pop accessibility, the record sparked wide-ranging debate even beyond the music world. The project cemented Rosalía's position as a central figure in contemporary global music.

In the coming months, the Catalan singer will also appear in the third season of the TV series "Euphoria", for which a first trailer was recently released (see below). This isn't her first acting experience: in 2019 she already took part in Pedro Almodóvar's "Dolor y Gloria", alongside Penélope Cruz.
