Everybody get up and dance: Madonna to perform at WorldPride 2026!
It will mark Madonna’s first appearance at WorldPride since 2019.
It’s confirmed, gays: Madonna is bringing Club Confessions to WorldPride Amsterdam.
After days of teasing an appearance at the 2026 extravaganza — including a cryptic Instagram Story in Dutch that translated to “I’ve got something I want to talk about” — the Queen of Pop has made it official.
Madonna will take to the stage on 1 August as part of the World Pride Music Festival, joined by longtime collaborator Stuart Price and the legendary Honey Dijon, with a run of special guests still to be announced.
The biggest Club Confessions yet
The Amsterdam date follows intimate Club Confessions nights at The Abbey in West Hollywood, Paris and New York City — but this will be the first ever staged as part of a WorldPride, and by every indication the biggest one yet.
It lands just weeks after the release of Confessions II, Madonna’s fifteenth studio album, which arrived on 3 July to the kind of reviews that have dancefloors already learning every word.
“I’ve got something I want to talk about.”
The show also coincides with Amsterdam’s iconic Canal Parade, one of the largest Pride celebrations on the planet, with organisers expecting between 500,000 and 750,000 people to descend on the city’s waterways that weekend.
WorldPride Amsterdam runs from 25 July to 8 August. Sunscreen, sensible shoes, and at least one costume change strongly advised.
