Disney+ to Exclusively Stream Concert from Vatican City

Disney+ will exclusively live-stream a concert from Vatican City, co-directed by Pharrell Williams and Andrea Bocelli, on September 13.

Musical performances include Pharrell Williams with the Voices of Fire Gospel Choir, Maestro Andrea Bocelli, John Legend, Clipse, Teddy Swims, Jelly Roll, Angélique Kidjo, Brandon Lake and more international artists.

Supported by the Vatican, the event will mark the closing of the third World Meeting on Human Fraternity and the celebration of the 2025 Jubilee Year. The celebration will be open to the public in Rome.

Designed to be a moment of global unity, the event brings together music, reflection and visual storytelling in a singular live experience. The show will include an aerial drone and light show by Nova Sky Stories, featuring imagery inspired by the Sistine Chapel. Nova Sky Stories recently landed an investment from Jeffrey Katzenberg’s WndrCo. The broadcast is produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment and directed by Sam Wrench.

“On the evening of 13 September, fraternity will take centre stage, expressed through the universal language of music and the stories of those who have made it a life’s choice,” said Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, Order of Friars Minor. “Concrete words and actions shall be proposed to be brought into our communities, so that fraternity does not remain a mere idea, but becomes a choice that transforms reality.”

“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 Williams.

“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 Bocelli.

The event is xecutive produced by Williams, Bocelli, Nova Sky Stories, Something in the Water, Solina Chau, Mark and Roma Burnett and Kimbal Musk. Musical direction is provided by Adam Blackstone.
