One Love Manchester

One Love Manchester was a benefit concert and British television special held on June 4, 2017, which was organized by Ariana Grande in response to the bombing after her concert at Manchester Arena two weeks earlier.

The concert took place at Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester and aired live on BBC One in the UK with hosts Sara Cox & Ore Oduba.

The concert was attended by 55,000 people; guest stars included Justin Bieber, the Black Eyed Peas, Coldplay, Miley Cyrus, Marcus Mumford, Niall Horan, Little Mix, Katy Perry, Take That, Imogen Heap, Pharrell Williams, Robbie Williams and Liam Gallagher.

The proceeds from the event benefit the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund (which was established by the Manchester City Council and the British Red Cross) following the May 22, 2017 bombing, which killed 22 concert goers and injured more than 500. The funds will go to help the victims and their families.

The British Red Cross reported it received more than £10 million in donations in the 12 hours following the concert.

Despite time zone differences, networks from at least 50 countries broadcast the concert live which was simultaneously streamed live on various platforms, including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.

New York Magazine's Vulture section ranked the event as the No. 1 concert of 2017.[
