Pharrell is helping kick off the Major League Baseball 2025 World Series with an exclusive live performance. He'll take the field Friday alongside Bishop Ezekiel and the Voices of Fire orchestra for a six-minute show. Emmy winner Jesse Collins, whose credits include the Super Bowl halftime shows, will be producing the performance.
Pharrell's upcoming performance continues his partnership with MLB and brings to life their previous "October Hits Different" campaign, which also featured Voices of Fire, as well as students from the University of Miami. The ad had launched the MLB postseason and included clips of MLB stars Aaron Judge, Kyle Schwarber and Cal Raleigh.
“Virginia taught me the power of music and community,” Pharrell said at the time. “Bringing Voices of Fire to the Postseason stage shows how those same forces of unity can come alive through sport.”
The first game of the World Series, with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays facing off in Toronto, airs Friday on Fox.
