3. Love Sensation (Album Version)

The tracklist in the first update was listing these three version, but it has now been reverted to the original listing (with the correct spelling of “Afterhours” as a single word).

Madonna continues her lifelong alliance and unwavering support for the LGBTQ+ community by bringing her CLUB CONFESSIONS presented by MISTR to WorldPride Amsterdam. Madonna appeared on stage just after 2am in the morning to a 6000+ crowd fervently awaiting her arrival to celebrate a night of pride, diversity, and equality.

In a moment that could only be described as a gay fever dream, Madonna stunned fans by bringing out Kylie for a surprise performance, where the pair debuted their new version of Madonna’s No.1 song Love Sensation as well as Madonna’s hit song Sorry which she has not performed live in more than two decades. The unforgettable night also featured Madonna’s longtime collaborator Stuart Price and Honey Dijon.

Madonna says:

Throughout my career, I’ve always supported efforts to fight HIV & AIDS, and that fight begins with education and access. With MISTR, Tristan is expanding access to HIV prevention and sexual healthcare for everyone.

Tristan Schukraft, Founder and CEO of MISTR, adds:

Madonna could have celebrated this new era anywhere in the world, but she chose to launch CLUB CONFESSIONS at The Abbey, a neighborhood gay bar, and bring it full circle with another unforgettable surprise on the World Pride stage. No one creates moments for the LGBTQ+ community quite like Madonna.

A post shared by Madonna (@madonna)

Madonna first teased about something she wanted to talk about posting the signature line from Bring Your Love written in Dutch in an Instagram Story posted on July 28:

With the WorldPride celebrations taking place in the capital city of the Netherlands from 25 July to 8 August the connection appeared immediately clear and it only took one day for the official announcement to be released with the official artwork for the event – this time using the everybody here is a work of art written again in Dutch:

While Madonna‘s Stories were immediately echoed by the PrideAmsterdam official account, Club Confessions was actually part of the World Pride Music Festival, the flagship music event taking place on two days only – from Friday, July 31 to Saturday, August 1, 2026 – at the AFAS Live venue.
Once again Club Confessions was powered by Mistr, extending their collaboration with Madonna that started in April with the Los Angeles stop at The Abbey Food & Bar in West Hollywood.

Club Confessions was part of the Saturday Late Night Schedule of the global dance party, following a set by Leland & Friends and followed by Honey Dijon.

Madonna took the stage at 2.30 in the morning, once again with Stuart Price on the decks.
The official artwork for the night also mentioned “+ special guests“, and the internet went crazy when Kylie Minogue posted on TikTok this short clip filmed behind the scenes of the Madonna & Graham tv special at KOKO:

@kylieminogue …. you set me free …. @madonna ♬ original sound – Kylie Minogue

And yes, Kylie was indeed Madonna‘s special guest for the night, joining her in the middle of a set that started with slightly remixed versions of four Confessions II tracks:

• I Feel So Free
• Bring Your Love
• Danceteria
• One Step Away

Madonna and Kylie dueted on a brand new version of Love Sensation and then shared the stage for the final two songs in the set.

• Love Sensation (Madonna & Kylie)
• Sorry
• Hung Up

Images and videos from the night once again flooded the internet both on official accounts such as WorldPrideMusicFestival and AFASLive, especially on Instagram and TikTok – check out MadonnaTribe’s Highlights for a selection of what’s been shared (and thank you everybody!).

Kylie herself shared a video thanking Madonna and everyone at Club Confessions World Pride Amsterdam.
