West Hollywood, California, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a surprise late-night appearance, Madonna transformed The Abbey into CLUB CONFESSIONS to celebrate the debut of its newly expanded dance floor, joining Tristan Schukraft and MISTR for an unforgettable night at one of queer nightlife’s most iconic destinations.
At the center of the celebration was the music. Madonna and her longtime collaborator Stuart Price debuted new music from her highly anticipated upcoming album Confessions II, arriving July 3, transforming the packed dance floor into an exclusive first listen. The decision to debut the songs at The Abbey—long considered a global landmark of LGBTQ+ culture—underscored her deep connection to queer audiences and the spaces that have championed her throughout her career.
The night drew a mix of artists, creatives, and familiar faces from music, fashion, and nightlife, including Addison Rae, Sky Ferreira, Lily Allen, Lola Young, Cara Delevingne, Kalis Uchis, Bebe Rexha, Julia Fox, Romy, Jodie Turner-Smith, Nadia Lee Cohen, Jeremy Scott, Tom Daley, Gottmik, Symone, Sasha Colby, Trinity the Tuck, Lushious Massacre, Archie Madekwe, Moses Sumney, Tyriq Withers, Vivian Wilson and Jordan Firstman.
While guests sipped on Madonna inspired Absolut cocktails (Confessions Cosmo and Express Yourself Martini) the room was pulsating house music from DJs Romy, the XX singer-guitarist turned acclaimed solo artist, shares her own history with Price: he co-produced her 2023 album Mid Air and Mez Monty – one of LA’s most respected house music DJ’s, rooted in the golden era sounds of New York and Chicago house.
