Music unites people, and later this month, Disney makes history. Grace for the World, a monumental concert from the heart of Vatican City, streams live worldwide on Disney+, Hulu, and ABC News Live. The show features a powerhouse lineup of artists, breathtaking visuals, and a setting unlike any other. It promises to be one of 2025’s most unforgettable cultural moments.
A Lineup Like No Other
St. Peter’s Square will host an extraordinary group of international stars. Performers include Pharrell Williams with the Voices of Fire Gospel Choir, Maestro Andrea Bocelli, John Legend, Karol G, Clipse, Teddy Swims, Jelly Roll, and Angélique Kidjo. The Choir of the Diocese of Rome, led by Maestro Marco Frisina, will also appear. An international choir, assembled under Adam Blackstone’s direction, adds even more depth.
Disney also announced new additions. Jennifer Hudson and BamBam will join the already stellar lineup, expanding the global stage of voices and styles.
A Historic Setting
This isn’t just another concert. For the first time, a live musical event will take place in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican. The setting itself is iconic. A dazzling aerial drone and light show, inspired by the Sistine Chapel, from Nova Sky Stories will enhance the music.
