Pop icon Madonna will be performing at the 64th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest this May.

In an article by Variety, the legendary entertainer’s representative confirmed her attendance to the annual singing competition in Tel Aviv with a 65-strong group of backup performers and crew.

Her performance is expected to last 15 minutes and will cost Israel an estimated $1.3 million, a price tag said to have been picked up by Canadian-Israeli billionaire Sylvan Adams. Other reports further suggested she would be performing two songs: one of her more notable pieces as well as a new single to be dropped during the May 18 finale show.
