AceShowbiz - The 2026 BRIT Awards in Manchester delivered a memorable moment when Rosalía was joined on stage by an unexpected guest, the iconic Icelandic singer Björk. The surprise collaboration took place during Rosalía’s electrifying performance of Berghain, one of the standout tracks from her 2025 album Lux.

The ceremony, held on February 28 at the Co-op Live Arena, marked the first time in its 47-year history that the BRIT Awards took place outside London. The event was packed with star power, but the highlight for many was undoubtedly the moment when Björk appeared to perform alongside Rosalía, adding an unforgettable dynamic to the night.

Berghain is a notable collaboration between Rosalía, Björk, and Yves Tumor, released in October 2025. The track’s name references the famous Berlin techno club and features lyrics in German, Spanish, and English, blending heavy classical influences with electronic sounds. The performance itself spanned from a dramatic operatic opening to an intense, rage-filled climax, captivating the live audience and viewers worldwide.

Following her performance, Rosalía received the award for Best International Artist. In her acceptance speech, she expressed gratitude towards artists who perform in their native languages and emphasized the importance of celebrating diversity and “otherness” in music, reinforcing her commitment to artistic authenticity.

Social media quickly buzzed with excitement. Fans shared clips and reactions, celebrating the unexpected pairing. One fan wrote about how loudly they screamed when Björk stepped on stage, while others marveled at how the two artists came together for such a prestigious event. The performance was widely praised for its boldness and unique blend of styles.

Björk herself shared her admiration for Rosalía on social media, describing it as an honor to be part of the song. She applauded Rosalía’s growth and praised the fierce concept behind the album Lux. The two artists had previously collaborated on the 2023 charity single “Oral,” further cementing their creative partnership.

The album Lux has received critical acclaim, including a glowing five-star review from NME, which highlighted its “astonishing scope and ambition.” It was also featured on NME’s list of the best albums of the year, with the track “Reliquia” ranking seventh on their top 50 songs of 2025. The song is celebrated for its adventurous sound, opening with a beautiful string arrangement that transitions into subtle electronic beats.
