Rosalía delivered a mesmerizing performance on her first night in Mexico City, enchanting an audience of 16,500 at the Palacio de los Deportes. The concert was a spectacle of artistic expression, blending avant-garde visuals with powerful musicality, featuring ballet dancers and a live orchestra that amplified her unique sound.

Good evening Mexico, how are we? Honestly, I'm very comfortable here with you. I come from very far away, from Barcelona, Catalonia, where I am from, and to always find so much affection here is something I will never stop thanking you for. I feel so cared for here, as you say.

— RosalíaExpressing her gratitude to the Mexican audience.

The show opened with an enigmatic presentation, a dancer emerging from a "fragile" box, setting a tone of artistic intrigue. This segued into Rosalía's performance of "Sexo, Violencia y Llantas" and "Reliquia," igniting the crowd's euphoria. The stage transformed throughout the night, shifting from delicate artistry to a more raw, intense energy during songs like "Divinize."

During a pause, Rosalía took a moment to connect with her Mexican fans, expressing profound gratitude for their unwavering support over the years. "I come from very far away, from Barcelona, Catalonia, where I am from, and to always find so much affection here is something I will never stop thanking you for," she shared, visibly moved by the "apapachada" (cared for) feeling she experiences in Mexico.

For so many years you have opened your doors to me, you have always shown me gestures and you are so generous, thank you for listening to me, for giving my songs a place, meaning here. The next one is especially for all of you who are here with me today, who, looking back, have never left me alone.

— RosalíaFurther elaborating on her appreciation for her fans' support.

The concert also featured a special collaboration, with Mexican artist Kenia Os joining Rosalía on stage. The performance evolved through various aesthetic phases, including a segment evoking a "black swan" and a transition into a vibrant "Motomami" club atmosphere, culminating in Rosalía urging the audience to dance. The live orchestra significantly heightened the dramatic tension throughout the show.

My chilangos and chilangas, this is not just for crying, let's move that damn ass and this is the perfect moment to do it... Girl, what do you say?

— RosalíaEncouraging the audience to dance during a high-energy part of the show.
