On May 22, Ariana Grande’s concert in Manchester ended in tragedy: a suicide bomber attacked, leaving 22 dead and many more injured. Grande suspended her tour but vowed to return to the city for a concert to benefit the victims’ families. That concert will be held on Sunday, with performers including Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, and Coldplay. And as revealed on Good Morning America on Friday morning, fans who didn’t get tickets before they sold out in six minutes will be able to tune in at home.
The concert will be broadcast live on Freeform at 2 p.m. Eastern time and ABC will also air a [one-hour highlight special] (http://www.eonline.com/news/858590/ariana-grande-s-manchester-benefit-concert-will-air-on-abc-and-freeform) following the NBA finals. So far, the confirmed performers are those listed above, along with Pharrell Williams, Usher, Niall Horan, Robbie Williams, Take That, Black Eyed Peas, and Little Mix.
Grande first promised the benefit in a statement released May 26, in which she wrote, “We will never be able to understand why events like this take place because it is not in our nature, which is why we shouldn’t recoil. We will not quit or operate in fear. We won’t let this divide us. We won’t let hate win . . . Our response to this violence must be to come closer together, to help each other, to love more, to sing louder and to live more kindly and generously than we did before.”
