Madonna to appear on BBC Graham Norton special before new album

Madonna will join Graham Norton for a one‑off 49‑minute BBC special titled "Madonna & Graham" scheduled to air on Friday 26 June 2026 at 10:40 pm on BBC One. The programme is billed as an in‑depth discussion of her life and career and serves as a promotional push ahead of her fifteenth studio album, Confessions II, which releases on 3 July 2026. The album, a sequel to her 2005 record Confessions on a Dance Floor, has been preceded by a short film "Confessions II – The Film" featuring cameo appearances by Benedict Cumberbatch, Gwendoline Christie, Kate Moss and others. Madonna previously appeared on the Graham Norton Show in 2019 and has a long‑standing relationship with the host. The special marks the first UK television appearance promoting the new record.
