Ariana will be joined on stage by Justin Bieber, Coldplay, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Pharrell Williams, Usher, Take That and Niall Horan for this special one-off concert.

UPDATE (1st June): Three more acts have been added to the line-up including Little Mix, Robbie Williams and the Black Eyed Peas.

The One Love Manchester concert will raise money for the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund set up by Manchester City Council in partnership with the British Red Cross, and will take place this Sunday at the Emirates Old Trafford Cricket Ground.

Ariana will be offering free tickets to those who went to her gig on the 22nd May and those who would like to go should apply through this website.

Hours after the attack outside the Manchester Arena which killed 22 people and injured many others Ariana tweeted, 'broken. from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don't have words.' sic

Then a few days later in an open letter she said,

'My heart, prayers and condolences are with the victims of the Manchester Attack and their loved ones. There is nothing I or anyone can do to take away the pain you are feeling or to make this better. However, I extend my hand and heart and everything I possibly can give to you and yours, should you want or need my help in any way.'

Continuing, 'Music is meant to heal us, to bring us together, to make us happy. So that is what it will continue to do for us. We will continue to honour the ones we lost, their loved ones, my fans and all affected by this tragedy. They will be on my mind and in my heart everyday and I will think of them with everything I do for the rest of my life.'

Tickets for One Love Manchester will go on sale this Thursday at 10am, if you went to her concert on the 22nd May you can apply for free tickets now.

Organisers have requested that people do not bring bags to the venue.
