Pharrell Williams, Andrea Bocelli Lead Historic Concert Vatican City

Pharrell Williams and Andrea Bocelli are co-directing a historic concert in Vatican City's St. Peter's Square on September 13, marking the conclusion of the third World Meeting on Human Fraternity and the 2025 Jubilee Year. The event, supported by the Vatican, aims to promote a global message of unity, brotherhood, and peace through music, reflection, and visual storytelling. Performers include Pharrell Williams with the Voices of Fire Gospel Choir, Bocelli, Karol G, John Legend, Clipse, Teddy Swims, Jelly Roll, and Angélique Kidjo, among others. Aerial drone and light shows inspired by the Sistine Chapel, produced by Nova Sky Stories, will enhance the experience, which also features reflections from world leaders in culture, diplomacy, and sports. Cardinal Mauro Gambetti emphasized the event's goal of turning fraternity into a transformative choice with practical impact, while both Williams and Bocelli highlighted this moment as a rare cultural occasion where the world unites through the universal language of music. The concert will stream live exclusively on Disney+, Hulu, and ABC News Live.
