Ariana Grande, Coldplay, Bieber, Pharrell, More Set for Manchester Benefit Show

Ariana Grande returns to Manchester this Sunday with Pharrell, Coldplay, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, and more for a concert benefitting victims of the suicide bombing that killed 22 people at her Manchester Arena show last week, Associated Press reports. The “One Love Manchester” concert will take place at the Old Trafford cricket ground on June 4, less than 2 weeks after the attack. Miley Cyrus, Usher, Take That, and Niall Horan will also perform, Billboard reports. BBC TV and radio and Capital Radio Networks will air the concert, with details of a live-stream coming soon, according to Billboard. Proceeds from the concert will go to an emergency fund set up by the city of Manchester and the British Red Cross. Attendees of the Manchester Arena concert can register for free tickets here.

Grande had previously announced she would return for a benefit concert in a statement last Friday. “We will not quit or operate in fear,” she wrote. “We won’t let this divide us. We won’t let hate win.” Police are still investigating whether the bomber, who has been identified by authorities, was part of a wider network. Police believe they have identified everyone killed, and the names of the victims—including an 8-year-old girl—have been released. The UK government raised the terror threat level to “critical” last Wednesday, indicating that more attacks may be imminent. It has since been reduced to “severe.”
