Rosalía’s ‘LUX’ Tour U.S. Leg Features Onstage ‘Confessional’ With Celebrity Guests, Including Marcello Hernández and Chappell Roan

Billboard reports that the singer is adding a themed, audience-facing confessional segment to her U.S. shows, inviting well-known guests to share personal relationship stories as part of the ‘LUX’ tour.

2 min readEditor-approved Apex article

Rosalía’s ongoing ‘LUX’ tour is incorporating a new, stage-based format in which celebrity guests join her for an onstage ‘confessional’ during the U.S. leg, according to Billboard. The outlet reports that Rosalía invites famous figures to appear as part of the performance and share love-life secrets in the confessional setting.

Billboard says the confessional segment is positioned as a recurring element of the ‘LUX’ show rather than a one-off appearance, framing it as a way for guests to discuss their personal romantic lives. The feature is designed to be part of the live production itself, delivered in front of concertgoers rather than through separate interviews or released content.

Among the guests Billboard highlights are Marcello Hernández and Chappell Roan, both identified by the publication as examples of the kind of prominent figures Rosalía is bringing into the confessional space. Billboard’s description indicates that the guest list spans multiple public personalities, with Hernández and Roan representing different points of that range.

The reports also place the confessional element within the broader tour context, tying the segment to the U.S. leg of ‘LUX.’ Billboard’s framing suggests the guest component is built into the show’s programming, meaning attendees at U.S. dates could experience the segment as part of the main act rather than an extra segment occurring outside the production’s core schedule.

As a practical matter, inviting high-profile artists to share intimate relationship details on stage raises questions about how consent, boundaries, and editorial control are managed in a live setting. While Billboard does not describe specific ground rules in the account, the format is inherently public-facing, with guests speaking directly to an audience as part of the concert experience.

It also underscores how major touring productions increasingly blend music performance with interactive or talk-show-like elements that spotlight celebrity guests. For fans, the confessional concept adds a different kind of cultural moment to the concert, shifting some attention from lyric interpretation to the personal storytelling offered by invited participants.

Billboard’s report does not provide further operational details about the mechanics of the confessional segment beyond the fact that the singer is inviting guests to share love-life secrets. The next visible step for attendees and observers will be what Rosalía and her production team choose to reveal about the guest rotation and how the confessional segment is handled across additional U.S. dates.

For now, Billboard’s reporting establishes that the U.S. ‘LUX’ tour includes a structured onstage confessional with celebrity guests, and that the lineup includes at least Marcello Hernández and Chappell Roan, as publicly identified by the outlet.

Why It Matters

  • Tour productions that add public, personal storytelling segments can shape audience expectations and the overall live experience for attendees at U.S. dates.
  • Celebrity guest participation can broaden the tour’s mainstream visibility beyond the core music audience.
  • The confessional format creates additional onstage speech that is delivered directly to live audiences, raising practical questions about guest consent and boundaries during performance.
  • Because the feature is tied to the U.S. leg, different dates may be affected by guest rotation as the tour continues.
