Rosalía was joined by surprise guest Björk during her dazzling performance at the 2026 BRIT Awards – watch below.
The ceremony took place in Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena tonight (February 28), the first time it has been held outside of London in its 47-year history.
It was a star-studded event, but one of the night’s biggest surprises came when the iconic Icelandic singer came out during Rosalía’s performance of ’Berghain’, the track the two collaborated on for Rosalía’s 2025 album ‘Lux’.
Later in the night, Rosalía won the award for Best International Artist, where she thanked artists who perform in their own languages and celebrated “otherness” in music.
Watch the footage of the dramatic ‘Berghain’ performance, which ranged from an operatic opening to a rage-tinged climax, here, as well as some social media reactions:

‘Berghain’ was released in October, and it also featured Yves Tumor. It takes its name from the legendary techno club of the same name in Berlin, and features lyrics in German, Spanish and English, as well as heavy classical influences.
Björk described herself as being “extremely honoured” to be on the song, writing on social media: “It is so thrilling to watch this woman grow. Congratulations to her with this incredible album … This concept is fierce!”
Björk and Rosalía also worked together on the 2023 charity single ‘Oral’.
‘Lux’ was given a glowing five-star review by NME, who lauded its “astonishing scope and ambition”.
It was also named on the best albums of the year list by NME, while ‘Reliquia’ from the album landed at Number Seven on NME‘s 50 best songs of 2025 list. The cut is hailed as being musically “adventurous”, with its “gorgeous opening string arrangement melting into gently thumping electronic production”.
Her stop at the Brits also comes ahead of a huge 2026 world tour, which includes dates in the UK, Europe and North America in the coming months. See all of the dates here and find any remaining tickets here.
