The One Love Manchester show comes less than two weeks after 22 people were killed by a suicide attacker as people left Ariana Grande‘s show at Manchester Arena.
The tribute concert will take place at Emirates Old Trafford Cricket Ground.
The venue has a 50,000 capacity and the gig will be broadcast live on BBC TV and radio. Proceeds will go to the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund, which was set up by the Manchester City Council in partnership with the British Red Cross, in aid of grieving families and victims of last week’s horrific attack.
Those who were at the Manchester Arena concert are being offered free tickets by Grande.
