Madonna has released ‘CONFESSIONS II’, her first studio album in seven years, on July 2, 2026. The 16-track record is a sequel to her 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor and reunites the artist with producer Stuart Price.

The album features collaborations with Martin Garrix, Sabrina Carpenter, and Stromae. Its launch was marked by a special event at London club Magazine on Thursday night, where Madonna performed alongside DJ sets from Horse Meat Disco and Jodie Harsh.

Madonna first announced CONFESSIONS II in April, after teasing a sequel since 2024. A short film accompanying the record was released last month, starring Arca, Honey Dijon, footballer Cole Palmer, and others.

In April, the artist debuted several tracks from the album during a surprise DJ set at Los Angeles nightclub The Abbey. Martin Garrix later premiered the collaborative single ‘Bizarre’ during the final night of his three-show run at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center last month. Garrix has separately confirmed that his own new album will be released later in 2026.
