Madonna sent fans wild as she made a surprise appearance at a party in London to celebrate the release of her new album, Confessions II.
The Popular singer launched the record – a follow-up to her 2005 disco-infused smash, Confessions On A Dance Floor – on July 3.
After shutting down Times Square in New York last month, she turned her attention to the UK and teamed up with dating app Grindr once again, throwing a celebration at Magazine London on Thursday night.
The crowd went wild as she popped up on stage, joining daughter Lourdes Leon and Stuart Price behind the DJ booth, to belt out some of her new tracks, as well as some classics.
As Madge danced the night away, follow along below as we recap everything from the party of the year…

Although there were parts of their bond that needed to be “healed”, Lourdes joined her mum on stage in London to celebrate her special night.
The pair embraced and showed off their moves behind the decks for a few minutes, before the model made her way backstage.

While promoting her new album, the Hung Up singer detailed that it “healed” her relationship with her daughter, who she shares with actor Carlos Leon.
“The song I wrote with my daughter, Lola [Lourdes]. She approached me about writing a song together as a way to heal our relationship,” she told Interview magazine.
“It’s hard for me to write a song about nothing. I have to tell a story. So I wrote about a lot of family trauma, and then we started making dance music.”
In a joint chat with Bob the Drag Queen, Lourdes explained it was her decision to get into the studio with her mother.
“I think that between a mother and a daughter and a relationship … there’s a lot of things that are unspoken,” she said. “There’s a lot of love that’s unspoken but also a lot of tension and emotions that are kind of difficult to put into words because it can be so emotional.
“A way that I thought would be easier for us to speak about these things would be through art, which is always something me and my mum have connected over that’s really brought us together.”
“It was very emotional and there were moments when I felt like crying, hugging her,” Madonna reflected. “Because as she says we don’t always agree on things but we love creativity and art has always connected us
“It was a very magical moment and we both had to be vulnerable.”

Madge proved why she’s the Queen of Pop as she danced along to I Feel So Free beside Stuart Pierce on stage.
Encouraging the crowd to “sing along” to her new hit, she elicited laughs as she then quipped, “but not yet”.
We’re not sure how many other singers could still keep the party going well after 12:30am, but Madonna wasn’t there for any partypoopers, instructing everyone: “Don’t be a vibe kill.”

Tickets to the party proved to be the hottest passes in town – the venue capacity was over 2,000, with fans spread across two floors, desperate to get a glimpse of the Queen of pop.
Following DJ sets from Jodie Harsh and co, Madge arrived on stage just after 12:15am and promptly declared how much she “loves London”.
Grabbing the mic, to huge applause, she yelled: “Alright London? Mother is here. Mother’s in the house. Are you ready?
Flashing a heart sign, she declared: “Thank you for coming! You should be whoever you want to be.”

A number of huge names were spotted in the crowd as Madge and co got the party started.
Fresh from her scene-stealing stint in Madonna’s album film, Kate Moss turned up to the party to support her pal.
The supermodel rubbed shoulders with Ashley Roberts, Daisy Edgar Jones, Saffron Hocking, Daphne Guinness and Jaime Winstone at the packed event.

If there is one thing Madonna knows how to do, other than produce incredible music, it is putting on a show, and she left no stone unturned in her efforts to get everyone hyped for Confessions II.
Aside from making a show-stopping entrance herself, she ensured guests did as well – those lucky enough to nab a ticket had to enter the North Greenwich venue in style… Through a speaker surrounded by a pair of giant inflatable legs.
And they weren’t just any inflatable legs, they were decked out in metallic silver lace-up, knee-high boots. Because, why not?

The official Club Confessions party was hosted at Magazine London by Grindr, with doors opening at 9:30pm.
It was billed as a release event to celebrate Madge’s new record, with organisers boasting of DJ sets from Stuart Price, Honey Dijon, Horse Meat Disco and Jodie Harsh.
Although the music legend was tipped to make an appearance, there was no official confirmation until she walked out on the stage at 12:18am, sending the packed club wild.

Madonna is no stranger to using moments in her personal life as inspiration for her music – and has never shied away from unpacking her lowest moment between those poignant lyrics.
This is evident once again in her latest release, where she details her strained relationship with Lourdes, as well as her heartbreak following the death of her brother.
In a moving collaboration with her daughter, she can be heard singing: “I know they tried to put us to the test / You’re not to blame, but you need to be free now.”
