Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Coldplay will join the pop singer at a show to raise money for the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund.
Ariana Grande is returning to perform in Manchester, England, almost two weeks after the attack at her show there killed 22 and wounded dozens more.
On Monday morning, Ms. Grande posted a flier on Twitter for a concert called “One Love Manchester, ” scheduled for June 4 at the Emirates Old Trafford Cricket Ground.
An announcement confirms that the 23-year-old pop singer, Ms. Grande, will be joined at the show by Justin Bieber, Coldplay, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry and Pharrell Williams, along with Usher, One Direction’s Niall Horan and the British boy band Take That.
The concert will be broadcast on BBC Television, live streamed through a yet-to-be-named partner, and available on the radio via the BBC Radio and Capital Radio Networks.
In an open letter posted on her social media on Friday, Ms. Grande wrote that she would perform a benefit concert for the victims of the attack and their families. Net proceeds from tickets sales for the June 4 show will go to the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund. Those who were in attendance at her Manchester concert on May 22 are eligible to receive free tickets to the benefit through an online registration form.
While no information about security protocols for the show has been announced, a note on the Ticketmaster page for the concert states: “For speed of entry, we are requesting that concertgoers do not attend with bags.”
“I don’ t want to go the rest of the year without being able to see and hold and uplift my fans, ” Ms. Grande wrote on Friday, suggesting that her “Dangerous Woman” tour, on pause since the night of the attack, would resume.
“Music is meant to heal us, to bring us together, to make us happy, ” she wrote. “So that is what it will continue to do for us.”
