Madonna is reportedly planning a string of arena shows following the release of Confessions II, her number one Billboard 200-charting sequel to the 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor.
The news comes after the Queen of Pop allegedly turned down the opportunity to perform at BST Hyde Park next year.
A source told The Sun‘s Bizarre column: “Madonna had so many options on the table and BST would have been perfect.
“Madonna will be playing live next year in the UK” – a source told The Sun
“She last played Hyde Park during her MDNA Tour in 2012, but never at BST. Sadly, the decision has been made to go in another direction.
“At the moment, arenas are being mooted by the team who are working on her live plans. Nothing is set in stone but Madonna will be playing live next year in the UK,” they added. “Just watch this space.”
The report follows the official line-up announcement for Coachella 2027. Madonna was part of the roster, marking her first full set at the festival since 2006.
Madonna Coachella 2027 dates
Coachella 2027 will take place over two weekends, from 9–11 April and 16–18 April, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. Madonna is set to perform on both Fridays.
Her upcoming gig follows her surprise performance with Sabrina Carpenter earlier this year, when they debuted ‘Bring Your Love’, from Madonna’s 2026 album Confessions II.
Madonna will perform in the dance tent on 9 and 16 April, just as she did when she appeared at the festival in 2006, following the release of Confessions on a Dance Floor.
Attitude has contacted Madonna’s representative for comment.
