Ariana Grande left Manchester quickly after the deadly bombing that followed her concert there a week ago, and now she’s returning in similar haste for a show this Sunday to benefit victims and their families.
The “One Love Manchester” show will feature Coldplay, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Niall Horan and Pharrell Williams in addition to Grande, and will be held at the city’s Old Trafford cricket ground, publicists told the Associated Press on Tuesday.
Take That, which had to cancel a number of its Manchester Arena
People who attended the ill-fated May 22 concert can request free tickets to see the show; regular tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Manchester time Thursday. The Old Trafford cricket ground seats 50,000 when configured for a music event, compared with Manchester Arena’s 22,000-person capacity.
Proceeds will go to an emergency fund set up by the city of Manchester and the British Red Cross.
