Rosalía Postpones North American Tour Dates Amid Family Emergency
Rosalía fans in Florida will have to wait a bit longer to see the Spanish singer live, as the artist has postponed the first three North American shows of her LUX World Tour. Originally scheduled for June 4 and June 6 at Miami’s Kaseya Center, and June 8 in Orlando, the cancellations were announced via the venue’s social media, citing a “family emergency” as the reason. “She is sorry to disappoint her fans, but the circumstances have left her with no other choice,” the statement read, adding, “As the tour explores rescheduling, please hold onto your ticket. We will provide more information soon.”
Background on the Postponements
The LUX World Tour was set to follow a spring tour supporting Rosalía’s 2023 album LUX, which received widespread critical acclaim. The set list for the tour typically features the entire LUX album, alongside tracks from her 2022 release MOTOMAMI. This marks the second time this year that Rosalía has had to reschedule performances; in March, she canceled a gig in Milan after suffering food poisoning, telling the audience, “I’m on the floor doing my best. I can try to keep going, but at some point I might have to stop.”
Rescheduling and Fan Response
While no new dates have been announced for the postponed Florida shows, the North American leg of the LUX World Tour is now expected to begin on June 11 in Boston. Fans have expressed disappointment on social media, with many urging the artist to prioritize her well-being. Rosalía, known for her dynamic live performances and genre-defying artistry, has not yet commented directly on the postponements, but her team has assured supporters that updates will follow.
Legacy of LUX
LUX, released in November 2023, debuted at No. 1 globally and broke Spotify’s record for most single-day streams by a female Spanish-language artist, with over 42 million streams in its first day. The album’s success solidified Rosalía’s status as a leading figure in contemporary pop and flamenco-influenced music. Her ability to blend traditional sounds with modern production has earned her a dedicated fanbase and critical praise, including a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist in 2023.
As the tour reschedules, fans remain hopeful for a swift return to the stage. For now, the focus remains on Rosalía’s well-being and the anticipation of her next chapter in the LUX World Tour.
