One of the world’s most iconic stages is coming to Disney+, and Hulu by bringing people together through the power of music. Grace for the World, a one-night livestream concert from St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City, blending gospel, classical, pop, hip-hop, and global choirs into a single, unmissable event. Co-directed by Pharrell Williams and Maestro Andrea Bocelli, the concert will close out the 2025 World Meeting on Human Fraternity.
Celebrating the 2025 Jubilee Year, the concert pairs Pharrell’s Voices of Fire Gospel Choir and Andrea Bocelli’s operatic presence with a star-studded lineup. John Legend, Jennifer Hudson, Clipse, Jelly Roll, Teddy Swims, and Karol G are just some of the notable performers taking the stage.
“This is a rare cultural moment where the world stops and collectively tunes in. It is a message of unity and grace for all of humanity,” said Pharrell Williams in a press release.
Beyond the musicians performing, the event will feature reflections from cultural, diplomatic, and sports leaders. Visual designs, including an aerial drone and light show by Nova Sky Stories, inspired by the Sistine Chapel’s artistry, will amplify the concert’s spiritual and cultural scope.
The concert’s executive producers include Williams, Bocelli, Nova Sky Stories, Something in the Water, and others, with broadcast production led by Jesse Collins Entertainment.
“Let us shine a spotlight on humanity with music from the very heart of Christianity and the most important spiritual square, reaching the entire world with a single message of brotherhood and peace,” said Maestro Andrea Bocelli.
