Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration will be arriving in theaters on November 8, Mercury Studios and Fathom announced on Tuesday (Oct. 8). The film chronicles 66-year-old Bocelli’s three-day July concert event at the Teatro del Silenzio (Theater of Silence) in Lajatico, a natural amphitheater in Bocelli’s Tuscany hometown. The concert featured a number of tracks from Bocelli’s genre-spanning repertoire, as well as captivating star-studded duets with Ed Sheeran, Shania Twain, Jon Batiste, Brian May, Sofia Vergara, David Foster & Katharine McPhee, Matteo Bocelli, Sofia Carson, Lauren Daigle, Eros Ramazzotti and more.
“The first time I had the idea to celebrate Andrea’s 30th anniversary, I shared it with him and Veronica, and they immediately embraced and supported the vision,” Bocelli’s manager, Francesco Pasquero, said in a press statement. “From that moment, two years of non-stop work followed to turn this dream into reality. The support from the entire team, with Almud and Maverick playing pivotal roles, and powered by Mercury, Impact, and CitySound, was instrumental in bringing this project to life. We created an event that will go down in the history of classical, pop, and crossover music, as nothing like this had ever been achieved before, with such a grand stage and world-class artists from all over the globe. When we saw the final cast come on stage, we were truly amazed by the result— we couldn’t have dreamed of anything better. The incredible direction by Sam Wrench, the artistic vision of Francisco Negrin, and the stage design by Stufish elevated the show to extraordinary levels. I’m deeply honored to have been part of this career-defining moment for Maestro Bocelli.”

Emmy Award winner Sam Wrench directed the film, and has previously worked on major concert films like Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour and Billie Eilish: Live at The O2. “The lessons I’ve learned from all the concert films I’ve made is always just to trust the music and trust the artists,” he tells Billboard. “Lean into what they’re showing and what they’re putting on, and that will always deliver the best and the most authentic film. That’s always what we’re trying to do, bring that live experience of the evening to to the cinema.”
He added of Bocelli, “I was so excited to celebrate him as an all-arounder, and to really capture the breadth of what he can do on film. To see someone’s artistry and that his voice never, never shows any hint of failure is incredible.”
Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Events, mirrored the sentiment. “This concert was so breathtaking in person that we can’t wait to present it to fans worldwide,” he shared in a statement. “The music and pageantry of this amazing event will be even more remarkable on the big screen, and we are beyond proud to be bringing it to theaters around the world so that fans of Maestro Bocelli – and all of the other special guest artists – can see and experience it!”
Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration isn’t the only exciting project the vocalist has in store. The 30th anniversary celebration continues with an album, Duets, which will arrive on Oct. 25 via Decca Records/Sugar Music. The 32-track collection includes previously released collaborations with Ed Sheeran, Céline Dion, Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lopez, and Luciano Pavarotti and more, as well as new duets with Shania Twain, Chris Stapleton, Gwen Stefani, Marc Anthony, Karol G, Hans Zimmer and his son, Matteo Bocelli.

Marcello Hernandez has brought a new energy to Saturday Night Live as the breakout star to join the show’s latest cast of comedians. As a result, the 26-year-old has teamed up with some of his favorite Latin music artists including Bad Bunny (who he most recently impersonated) and Karol G.

The #ComoLoDigas campaign looks to celebrate and display the various ways that Buchanan’s 200% fans pronounce (and enjoy) the beverage, while demonstrating that “what may differentiate Latinos in language unites them in community,” the brand says in a press statement.
As a fellow 200%-er, the #ComoLoDigas campaign also has a personal connection for the actor.
“One of the reasons that it’s been a really cool experience to work with Buchanon’s is the 200% campaign, which is just highlighting people that are 100% their culture or their parents’ culture, and then also 100% American,” Hernandez says in an interview with Billboard. “I think a lot of first-generation people like myself can relate to that.”

Choosing Buchanan’s Scotch Whiskey seemed like a natural choice for the comedian as it was a go-to for his family.
“You spend a lot of time when you’re younger not drinking,” he says. “When you get old enough to drink, you just want something that’s familiar. I think that this was really familiar to me because of the family parties I used to go to. It’s like a household name, if you will.”

Part of the reason Buchanan’s tapped Hernandez to be the face of the campaign was through their effort to bring younger Lantino Americans into the forefront — especially as Latino culture and language in the U.S. has evolved over the years. The campaign also hopes to unite the different communities within the culture by celebrating 200% pride and uniting everyone no matter what form (or sound). Within the campaign video, the brand spotlights the various ways in which people have been pronouncing “Buchanan’s” over the years “based on their country of origin, cultural slang or even the neighborhoods they live in, ensuring the love for Buchanan’s Whisky remains, no matter the pronunciation.”
Latino culture in the U.S. and language have evolved over the years, with younger Latino Americans celebrating our nuances, not to create division, but rather to celebrate 200% pride and uniting us no matter what form (or sound) it takes. Launching during Hispanic Heritage Month, the campaign is inspired by the various ways different communities
Below, ShopBillboard chats with Hernandez more about life as a cast member on SNL, his favorite artists and what he looks forward to most when Grande takes over as host.
You just had the premiere for the 50th season. Compared to last season, what was different about this premiere experience?
Well, this year we had Maya [Rudolph] and Andy Sandberg and Jim Gaffigan and Dana Carvie, who all stopped by to play characters of the Presidential race. Having them there set the tone for what season this is going to be and show you how important it is. I just think it’s beautiful, the relationship that people that have graduated from the show still have with it.
You also did a Bad Bunny impression for the premiere. Did he know about it beforehand?
I didn’t tell him, but I did keep him in mind. I didn’t want to ruin the little relationship that we do have, but it was fun. He’s somebody that before I met him, I was just a huge fan. It’s fun to dress up like somebody that you’re fan of.
What do you think is the secret to the perfect Bad Bunny impression?
I think there’s probably different ways to do it, whether he’s on stage versus off stage. Off stage he’s definitely not like a a crazy loud person, maybe the way I am, so maybe turning myself down a couple notches and being a little more chill. He has a grace to him that is fun to watch, and it’s hard to throw him off.
And then looking forward, Ariana Grande is supposed to be hosting soon — any dream sketches with her?
I don’t know if I have any dream sketches, but I do know that when I was 12 or 13, my family and I did a trip to LA, and we were at a restaurant and we saw her. Back then, my sister and I would probably watch her on Victorius and I remember just being like,”we have to take a picture with her.”
We did. There’s this really old picture of really young me with Ariana. Any sketch that we do together will feel like a full circle moment.
Are there any musical guests you’re looking forward to seeing?
Personally, all I listen to is Latin music. I think just having any Latin artist come by would be beautiful and would definitely have me dancing at 8H.

The Lonely Island returned to Saturday Night Live on Oct. 5 with a hilarious new track about consuming sushi in some unsavory places.
In the trio’s first song on the long-running show since 2018, group members Andy Samberg and Akiva Schaffer (minus Jorma Taccone, who is credited as a writer) reunited for a SNL Digital Short titled “Sushi Glory Hole,” in which the two sharply-dressed comedians pitch skeptical investors (played by Maya Rudolph, Bowen Yang and Kenan Thompson) on a fishy business idea: “Sushi being fed through a hole in the wall.”
Samberg and Schaffer, donning 1980s-looking business suits, then play a cassette and begin rapping about their seemingly brilliant idea, as the scene cuts to SNL cast member James Austin Johnson dropping to his knees in a bathroom stall to receive a piece of raw fish on rice through a small hole. Unconvinced on their pitch, Yang and Rudolph’s disgusted characters begin to walk out of the board room.
“Hey, where you going? Hear us out!” Samberg and Schaffer beg over and over before stepping up their game. “You forgot to eat, now you’re out and about. But you wanna be discreet, can’t be eatin’ omakase in the middle of the street. Then you open the app: SGH is all over the map,” they pair continues. “So you head to a club, hit the bathroom stall, find the sushi-size hole in the bathroom wall. Then make a wish, and prepare for some shockingly high grade fish!”
Trending on Billboard
The pitch ultimately fails and Yang’s character is seen getting into his car, only to be surprised by Samberg and Schaffer, who are waiting for him in the back seat as a creepy last-ditch effort.
