On Saturday, February 28, Björk made a rare live appearance, joining Rosalía on stage at the 2026 BRIT Awards.
Wearing a futuristic blue dress, and, for the first time in a long while, appearing without her iconic mask, Björk delivered a dazzling performance alongside Rosalía. The pair performed their collaborative track “Berghain” from Rosalía’s album LUX, released last year.
The BRIT Awards ceremony was held at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, marking the first time in the event’s 47-year history that it has taken place outside London.
Rosalía also took home the award for Best International Artist, beating a roster of world-renowned nominees including Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, CMAT, Doechii, sombr, and Tyler, The Creator.
After the show, Björk shared a message on social media, writing: “humongously grateful for rosalía inviting me on her journey.”
