Less than two weeks after a suicide bombing occurred at her concert in Manchester, England, Ariana Grande is returning to the British city to prove she will not let terrorists win. The “Side to Side” singer announced plans for a charity concert in Manchester just days after the attack, and she kept her word — fast! The concert, called Manchester One Love, will take place Sunday, June 4, and Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, and Justin Bieber are all expected for perform. Today, Ariana was spotted touching down in Manchester, gearing up for her show!
Ariana first announced plans for the charity concert on May 26. “I’ll be returning to the incredibly brave city of Manchester to spend time with my fans and to have a benefit concert in honor of and to raise money for the victims and their families,” she revealed on Twitter.
“I extend my hand and heart and everything I possibly can give to you and yours, should want or need my help in any way,” Ariana wrote. “The only thing we can do now is choose how we let this affect us and how we live our lives from here on out.”
