Clipse and Pharrell are among a star-studded lineup of artists set to perform at a free concert at the Vatican City.

Set to take place on Saturday (September 13), the Grace for the World concert will also feature performances from the likes of Jennifer Hudson, BamBam, Jelly Roll, John Legend, Karol G and Teddy Swims. It will include an aerial drone and light show by Nova Sky Stories, with imagery inspired by the Sistine Chapel.

Fans will be able to stream the concert live on ABC News Live, Hulu and Disney+ at 3 p.m. on the same day. It is set to take place in St. Peter's Square, making it the first-ever concert hosted there. Pharrell's company, Something in the Water, serves as an executive producer alongside Nova Sky Stories and Andrea Bocelli.

The concert is free for anyone to attend, so long as they arrive at St. Peter's Square by 8 p.m. local time.

"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," Pharrell said of the show. "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," added Maestro Andrea Bocelli.

In other Clipse news, thanks to a recent weed-fueled, Kendrick Lamar-featuring evening at the Peacock Theater, Bill Burr is now a fan of the duo.

During a recent episode of his Monday Morning Podcast, the comedian and Glengarry Glen Ross actor let fans know he was in attendance for Pusha T and Malice’s recent Los Angeles show.

"Dude, it was fucking unbelievable, the show they put on," Burr said. "Kendrick Lamar came out and did a surprise guest star thing, came out and did a whole song. I thought the fucking roof was gonna blow off this place. I’m not gonna lie to you."

He continued: "I felt like the fucking old guy there, the level that people were going nuts. That would be like if I went to see AC/DC and Eddie Van Halen came out. Rest his soul. The place went crazy. It was such a great show."

ComplexCon returns to Las Vegas on October 25–26, 2025, with over 300 brands and live performances by Young Thug, YEAT & Friends, Peso Pluma, Central Cee, Ken Carson, and more. Get your tickets now.
