Rosalía was forced to cancel her concert on Wednesday (March 25) at the Unipol Forum in Milan due to what she described as food poisoning. The artist, who is currently touring Europe with her Lux Tour, tried to complete the setlist before informing the audience that she was physically unable to continue.

“I’ve tried to push it till the end, but I’m feeling extremely sick,” she explained from the stage, according to videos shared on social media by concertgoers. In those same clips, she detailed that she was suffering of “big time food poisoning” and had been vomiting backstage.
After apologizing to the audience, she said “I hope I can come back in better conditions,” and ended the show prematurely.
According to Setlist.fm, Wednesday night’s show lasted 11 songs, ending with the final song in the second act of the show, the LUX track “De madrugá.” Earlier shows featured 12 more songs spread out over a third act, an intermezzo on a satellite stage and a final act featuring the hits “Bizochito” and “DESPECHÁ.”
Neither the artist’s team nor local promoters have issued an official statement regarding the cancellation or the rescheduling of the Milan concert, or possible adjustments to the immediate tour schedule. Billboard Español has reached out to Live Nation and the singer’s team for comment.
The incident occurred ten days after the start of the tour in Lyon, France (March 16). As previously reported by Billboard, the Lux Tour is Rosalía’s most ambitious production to date, featuring a show structured in four acts that combines elements of opera, flamenco, and techno.
The next stop on the tour is scheduled for March 30 at the Movistar Arena in Madrid, where the artist has additional dates planned for April 1, 3 and 4 before continuing her European trek. The artist is set to arrive in the United States this summer for a series of shows starting in Miami on June 4, with stops in Boston, New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, and more.
