Madonna’s last studio album, *Madame X* (2019), preceded a series of live shows. In 2024 she reunited with longtime producer Stuart Price—who created 2005’s *Confessions on a Dance Floor*—to craft *Confessions II*, slated for July 3 on Warner Records, marking her return to the label. The Abbey, a gay nightclub on Robertson Boulevard, has long hosted celebrity gatherings.
