Last week, Andrea Bocelli and his son Matteo Bocelli met with Pope Leo XIV and performed live for the new pontiff.
And now the Italian maestro will be singing live from the Vatican in St Peter’s Square this Saturday with Pharrell Williams and many more.
He shared on Instagram: “On September 13th, from St Peter’s Square, I will have the honor of co-directing with Pharrell Williams, ‘Grace for the World’: the closing concert of the 3rd World Meeting on Human Fraternity, within the Vatican Jubilee celebrations. A landmark cultural and spiritual event — two intense days of dialogue and reflection will culminate in a unique live experience uniting music, storytelling, and fraternity. Together with extraordinary artists — @JohnLegend, @TeddySwims, @VoicesOfFire, @karolg, @clipse, @jellyroll615, @angeliquekidjo — accompanied by a 250-voice international choir and a spectacular drone and light show inspired by the Sistine Chapel, we will shine a spotlight on humanity through music.”
An official statement added: “The concert will be illuminated by a breathtaking drone and light performance from Nova Sky Stories, inspired by the masterpieces of the Sistine Chapel—an unprecedented fusion of technology and sacred art. This landmark celebration marks the 2025 Jubilee Year and the closing of the World Meeting on Human Fraternity, extending a message of unity across cultures and borders.”
The special concert event will be broadcast live worldwide on Disney+, Hulu and ABC News Live from 9pm CEST (8pm BST) and tickets to attend in person and access to the livestream can be found here.
