ROSALÍA TO MAKE 'SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE' MUSICAL GUEST DEBUT TONIGHT

Spanish pop innovator Rosalía is set for a major career milestone tonight, making her musical guest debut on Saturday Night Live alongside host Shane Gillis. The October 10, 2026 episode — Season 52, Episode 3 — marks the first time the Spanish singer has taken the SNL stage as the night's musical act, and fans are counting down the hours. For more on her journey so far, read our Rosalía biography.

The Episode

Rosalía's SNL debut airs tonight, October 10, 2026, at 11:30 PM ET / 8:30 PM PT on NBC, and the episode also streams on Peacock. Comedian Shane Gillis hosts Season 52, Episode 3, with Rosalía booked as the musical guest for the night. Missed last week's show? Catch up with our Saturday Night Live Season 52 Episode 2 recap.

The LUX Era

The appearance arrives in the middle of Rosalía's LUX era. Lux, her fourth studio album, was released on November 7, 2025, and tonight's SNL slot puts the project in front of one of the biggest television audiences of the year. It caps a landmark run for the singer, who is also set to receive the 2026 Billboard Hall of Fame honor.

What to Expect

SNL has a history of standout Latin music moments — Bad Bunny has both hosted and performed on the show, and Rosalía has previously performed with Bad Bunny on SNL-adjacent appearances. As for tonight's setlist, nothing is confirmed: the show has not aired yet, so any talk of which songs she will perform is pure speculation for now. (And for the record: no, Rosalía is not on U2's new album — but she inspired 'The Mirror Maker'.)
