Fans began arriving at the Sports Palace in Mexico City for Rosalía's concert, with some making a "pilgrimage" from as far as León and Querétaro. Despite light rain, eager attendees, like friends Sandra and Valeria, arrived as early as 2 p.m. They hoped for a conceptual and artistic show, beyond just the music.

Liz and Antonio, friends from Querétaro, traveled six hours to attend Rosalía's first CDMX concert. While they prefer her "Motomami" album, they see "Lux" as a significant turning point in her career, appreciating her use of religion as a concept. "It's not like a tax, you follow her because you like her, you liked the concept, and not religion," Liz stated.

Enjoy, I haven't spoiled anything for myself. They say she brings a show that is very scenic, very artistic, and I do expect to see something conceptual beyond that.

Fans expressed high expectations for the "confessional" segment of the show, with many hoping for surprise appearances by Belinda, Danna, or Kenia Os. Belinda is a popular choice, with fans wanting to hear about her relationship with Christian Nodal, while Kenia Os, Peso Pluma's ex-girlfriend, is also a desired guest to discuss her breakup.

Unofficial merchandise, including t-shirts, caps, and mugs, were being sold outside the venue for 200 to 300 Mexican pesos. Other items like Spain and FC Barcelona jerseys, hoodies, and even Snoopy plush toys were also available. Ticket resellers were asking between 2,500 and 6,000 pesos for entry. The concert was scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. and conclude around 11 p.m.
