Rolling Stone published a review of her first two shows in Madrid, revealing some of the details of the concert, including the setlist and the look of the stage. Going against the formula laid out by pop divas all over the world, Rosalia’s show features no costume changes, no musicians, and barely any songs from her previous record. Instead, the stage acts as a blank canvas for her performance, featuring a camera person that constantly trails after her, bringing the audience closer to her and her vision.

Rosalia plays a variety of instruments throughout the evening, including guitar for her song “Dolerme” and the piano for “Hentai.” While she wears different outfits per date, there are no mid-concert costume changes, allowing for an immediate and somewhat minimalist experience.
