Coolest Pope EVER! Concert in St. Peter's Square directed by Pharrell and Andrea Bocelli [View all]

On September 13, 2025, Pope Francis hosted "Grace for the World," the first public concert in St. Peter's Square in over 2,000 years, co-directed by Pharrell Williams and Andrea Bocelli to advance human fraternity from the Fratelli Tutti encyclical. The event featured diverse artists like K-pop star BamBam debuting his ballad "Angel in Disguise," hip-hop duo Clipse with John Legend on "The Birds Don't Sing," and performers including Jelly Roll, Jennifer Hudson, Karol G, and Teddy Swims, attracting thousands in Vatican City and millions via streams on Disney+, Hulu, and ABC News Live. A stunning drone light show formed images of the Pope and peace symbols, amplifying messages of global unity and drawing widespread acclaim for merging faith with contemporary music.
