Niall Horan to perform at 'One Love Manchester' concert this weekend

The concert takes place this Sunday (June 4) and the One Direction star is part of a line-up which includes Ariana Grande, the American pop star whose Manchester Arena concert was targeted in the attack which killed 22 people.

Coldplay, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Pharrell Williams, Usher and Take That will also be performing at Sunday's event in the Old Trafford cricket ground in Manchester.

All ticket proceeds from the show will go towards the 'We Love Manchester Emergency Fund' set up by Manchester City Council in partnership with the British Red Cross.

The concert will be broadcast on BBC television and tickets will go on sale tomorrow (Thursday) at 10am. Ariana Grande is offering fans who were at her Manchester show free tickets to Sunday's benefit concert.

In an open letter posted on her social media accounts, Ariana Grande wrote: '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.

'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,' wrote the singer.
