Fever joins as the Presenting Partner of “Grace for the World”. The event is Executive Produced by Pharrell Williams, Maestro Andrea Bocelli, Nova Sky Stories, and Something in the Water, with Additional Executive Producers including Solina Chau, Mark & Roma Burnett, Kimbal Musk, and Fever. The live broadcast is produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment and directed by Sam Wrench.
This performance will both celebrate the 2025 Jubilee year and mark the closing of the third World Meeting on Human Fraternity, a conference held by the Fratelli Tutti Foundation consisting of two days of spiritual and cultural initiatives, to celebrate the strength of fraternity, offer the world a symbolic embrace, and renew the collective commitment to the protection of Creation. With support from the Vatican, the concert will bring together music, reflection, and visual storytelling in a singular live experience.
The event joins the growing lineup of live events on Disney+, which is bringing audiences around the globe together for a monumental cultural and musical experience.
Attendance at the concert in Vatican City is free and open to all. Guests are asked to arrive at St. Peter’s Square by 8 pm CEST, with the concert commencing at 9 pm CEST.
Roger’s Take: No doubt this is going to be a very popular live event with its global reach. It’s rare that we get these big, grand concert specials anymore, and hopefully, if this proves to be a hit, we will see more of them in the future. I’m certainly looking forward to seeing Andrea Bocelli performing at one of the most beautiful locations on the planet.
