Which venue hosted the first private Club Confessions party?

The Abbey hosted the first private Club Confessions party.

Madonna and producer Stuart Price began the Club Confessions series with a private event at The Abbey in West Hollywood, California, on April 25, 2026. The party gave invited guests an early taste of the album and included previews of “Love Sensation” and “One Step Away.”

The Abbey is a well-known LGBTQ+ bar and nightclub on Santa Monica Boulevard. Its West Hollywood setting made it a fitting location for an intimate dance-floor event tied to Madonna’s Pride-era promotional campaign.

Later Club Confessions events took the concept abroad and to larger venues. A second party was held at Paradis Latin in Paris, followed by events at Magazine London, Knockdown Center in New York City, and AFAS Live in Amsterdam. Those later locations are why the first-party question can be easy to misremember.
