Motha Descends on NYC: Grindr and Madonna Team up for Legendary Times Square PerformanceJune 4, 2026 11:55 PM
Business Wire New Music Debuts from Confessions II at Landmark Performance Live Streamed Globally in the Grindr App Tonight, Grindr, the Global Gayborhood in Your Pocket (NYSE: GRND), and Madonna made history. In front of a record-breaking crowd, Madonna delivered an electrifying live performance giving the world its first taste of three new tracks from Confessions II – available everywhere July 3 via Warner Records. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260604313355/en/GRINDR AND MADONNA TEAM UP FOR LEGENDARY TIMES SQUARE PERFORMANCE Just thirty minutes after announcing the surprise show in the Grindr app, Madonna took over Times Square, stepping onto stage wearing a Dolce & Gabbana corset and ensemble. In addition to the new music, she performed a handful of songs from Confessions on a Dance Floor. As Madonna continues to encourage the community to connect in person, this once in a lifetime event brought thousands of people together and captured the unmistakable spirit and energy of her beloved city. “The LGBTQ+ community has been with me from the beginning. We’ve inspired, challenged and stood by each other during both dark and joyful times,” says Madonna. “Partnering with Grindr feels like a celebration of that connection – safety in numbers.” Grindr reimagined the epicenter of Manhattan as the Global Gayborhood, with 15+ camera angles, live dancers, and the Grindr bus to celebrate this momentous occasion. "Madonna chose to bring Confessions II to her fans through Grindr,” says George Arison, Grindr CEO, “and tonight, Times Square was the Global Gayborhood." Confessions II is available for pre-order now via Warner Records including two exclusive vinyl variants: the Grindr Exxxclusive Vinyl Picture Disc with artwork exclusively chosen for the Global Gayborhood and the Pride Vinyl Edition. Both available for pre-order at shop.madonna.com. “Gay culture has always been at the center of the conversation – setting trends, deciding what the world cares about next. That conversation starts on Grindr and even the Queen of Pop knows it,” says Tristan Pineiro, Grindr CMO. For the first time in Grindr history, the performance was live streamed to users globally inside the Grindr app; extending the reach of the performance far beyond the physical venue and onto the screens of millions around the world. For those who missed the event, a recording of the performance will be available on Grindr’s YouTube channel. This partnership was never going to be a one-night stand. What began as a collaboration quickly evolved into a cultural takeover: an immersive in-app experience, exclusive drops for Grindr users around the world, and most recently, Madonna baring it all in Grindr Presents: Confessions with… Madonna. Mother finally answers the Gayborhood’s most burning questions. And if you think that's everything… consider this foreplay. Open the app. The dancefloor is still open. Thanks for coming. About Grindr With more than 15 million average monthly active users, Grindr (NYSE: GRND) has grown to become the Global Gayborhood in Your Pocket™, on a mission to make a world where the lives of our global community are free, equal, and just.

Bitch, I’m Madonna: Madonna Partners with Grindr for Global Launch of Confessions IIApril 24, 2026 12:14 PM
Business Wire
Mother Has Entered the Chat and She’s On the Grid
Grindr, the Global Gayborhood in your PocketTM and world’s largest social networking app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people, today announces an exclusive global partnership with Madonna to launch Confessions II, arriving just in time for Pride season. Grindr is one of the few select brand partners to officially partner on the release.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260424195021/en/Madonna Partners with Grindr for Global Launch of Confessions II
Starting today, Madonna takes over the grid - on her terms. Across Grindr, users will experience an evolving in-app takeover featuring exclusive content, dynamic, location-aware moments that appear within the Global Gayborhood, and limited drops - including a brand new picture disc of Confessions II, handpicked by Madonna, exclusively for Grindr users. Designed for curiosity, timing, and people who know where to look, the experience rewards participation and discovery, connecting users not just to content, but to each other.
Opening with “Thanks for coming,” Confessions II signals a return to the dancefloor as ritual - a space for release, control, and reinvention. The music is designed to be felt collectively, in motion, and in real time.
"Grindr drives connections, shapes culture, and builds community – and no one embodies that spirit quite like Madonna," said George Arison, CEO of Grindr. “She has been empowering our community to Express Yourself for decades, so this feels less like a partnership and more like a homecoming."
For decades, Madonna has defined the sound and spirit of the gay dancefloor - music that doesn’t just play, but pulls people together. Her unwavering allyship and work have long shaped how communities gather, express themselves, and move as one.
Grindr powers that same connection in real time. The Global Gayborhood is a living network where millions of people show up as they are: to meet, to discover, and to build community. It’s where culture begins and travels fast, where energy builds, and where a night out, a conversation, or a shared moment starts instantly.
Additional details will be teased in the coming weeks in the Grindr app and on Grindr's social channels, leading into Confessions II’s July 3 release date. To experience Madonna’s takeover of the Grindr app, update to iOS version 26.6.1 and Android version 26.6 now.
Open the app. Check the grid. The dancefloor is open.
