Performers Announced For World Meeting Of Families

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – There are new details on the upcoming World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia this September.

The announcement was made early Tuesday morning.

Andrea Bocelli, Juanes and The Philadelphia Orchestra will perform in a concert on the parkway. The Philadelphia Orchestra will also be playing for the Papal Mass.

Organizers of the World Meeting of Families say they're excited to have an international lineup.

"I love Jay Z, and Beyonce, and of course, Philly's own band, The Roots, but there's something quite magical about the idea, the thought, the visual, of Pope Francis being on stage in our city, with Andrea Bocelli, Juanes, and The Philadelphia Orchestra all at the same time," Mayor Nutter said.
