Rosalía Cancels Milan Concert Mid-Show Due to Food Poisoning
Milan, Italy – Rosalía was forced to halt her performance at the Unipol Forum in Milan on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, due to severe food poisoning. The singer, currently on her Lux Tour, addressed the audience directly, explaining her condition and ultimately ending the show prematurely.
According to reports from Rolling Stone and Billboard, Rosalía attempted to continue the performance despite feeling unwell. She informed the audience she had been experiencing “large time food poisoning” and was vomiting backstage. Despite her efforts, she ultimately had to stop the show during “De Madrugá,” approximately 11 songs into the set.
“I tried to do this show since the beginning even though I’ve been sick,” Rosalía told the crowd, as reported by People. “I’m puking out there, and I really want to supply the best show, and I’m on the floor doing my best. I can try to keep going, but at some point I might have to stop… We might have to if I physically can’t continue. I’m in pain.”
Following the cancellation, Rosalía shared a photo on her Instagram story from a hospital cot with IV fluids, stating, “Feeling better thank you so much for all the love and understanding for everyone who was there. Grazie Milano.”
Lux Tour Production and Previous Performance
Rosalía’s Lux Tour is known for its elaborate production, featuring the Heritage Orchestra, choreography by (The) Horde, and visual direction by Dimitris Papaioannou. Billboard notes the show is structured in four acts, combining elements of opera, flamenco, and techno. The tour began on March 16, 2026, in Lyon, France.
Concerns Raised About Concert Logistics
Beyond Rosalía’s health, concerns were raised regarding the concert’s logistics. Reports indicate a delay in the show’s start time, with no communication provided to the audience. The stage setup, including a walkway dividing the stalls and orchestra pit, limited visibility for some attendees, particularly those in wheelchairs or with reduced mobility.
Critics also noted the concert’s focus on creating content for social media, with a segment where Rosalía posed for photos, seemingly prioritizing digital reproduction over the live experience.
As of March 26, 2026, neither Rosalía’s team nor local promoters have issued a statement regarding rescheduling the Milan concert or potential adjustments to the tour schedule. Rosalía is scheduled to perform in Madrid starting March 30, 2026.
