The "One Love Manchester" concert will be headlined by Ariana
Grande, the U.S. singer whose concert in the northern English
city on May 22 was hit by a suicide bombing that killed 22
people and wounded 116.
Coldplay, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Pharrell Williams, Take
That and the Black Eyed Peas will also perform at the concert at
the Emirates Old Trafford Cricket Ground on Sunday.
Fans who attended Grande's previous show are being offered free
tickets to the concert which will be broadcast on British
television. Proceeds from tickets sold will go to the We Love
Manchester Emergency Fund set up to aid grieving families and
victims of the attack.
In a statement announcing the benefit concert, Grande said she
hoped to "honor the ones we lost, their loved ones, my fans and
all affected by this tragedy".
