Madonna Unveiling ‘Confessions II’ At Tribeca Festival

The Tribeca Festival has added another marquee music event to this year’s lineup, as Madonna will world premiere a cinematic presentation tied to her forthcoming album Confessions II on June 5 at New York’s Beacon Theatre. After the screening, the onetime Material Girl will sit for a conversation with Jimmy Fallon alongside the film’s directors David Toro and Solomon Chase.

The 10-minute-plus visual piece accompanies the first six tracks from Confessions II, including “I Feel So Free” and “Bring Your Love” featuring Sabrina Carpenter. Directed by Toro and Chase under their TORSO banner, the project is described as a continuous cinematic work unfolding across six interconnected chapters, blending club-world surrealism, erotic thriller imagery and fever-dream dance sequences.

According to the festival, the film follows Madonna through “a fucked-up night out” as she moves between bedrooms, club bathrooms, cars and arenas while being pursued by a “roving squad of camera-wielding femmes.” Themes of fame, intimacy, grief and catharsis are woven throughout, with the dancefloor serving as the emotional center of the piece. The project was produced by Division and “powered” by Dolce & Gabbana.

“Madonna has spent decades proving that reinvention is its own art form,” Tribeca co-founder Jane Rosenthal says. “Confessions II feels immersive, provocative, and completely of the moment, while still channeling the kind of nightlife mythology only she could create.” Tickets will initially be available today (May 12) to Madonna community members through digital access codes.

Confessions II is Madonna’s first new album in seven years and her debut with Warner Records since returning last year to the label that helped launch her superstar career in the 1980s. The July 3 project re-teams the artist with producer Stuart Price, with whom she worked on 2005’s beloved Confessions on a Dance Floor. That album went No. 1 in 40 countries and won the Best Electronic/Dance Album Grammy and is best known for hits such as the ABBA-sampling “Hung Up,” “Sorry” and “Get Together.”

The announcement further strengthens Tribeca’s increasingly music-heavy 2026 slate. As previously reported, this year’s festival will also feature programming tied to Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Finnes, Katy Perry and Earth. Wind & Fire, among many others.
