One Love Manchester, a benefit concert to be headlined by Ariana Grande this Sunday to commemorate the victims of a bombing that occurred during one of her tour stops earlier this month — and to raise money for affected families — will be streamed live on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.
The concert will also feature performances from Justin Bieber, Coldplay, Miley Cyrus, Niall Horan, Little Mix, Katy Perry, Usher, Pharrell Williams, and others. In addition to being broadcast on ABC in the U.S. and on BBC One in the U.K., the sold-out concert will be available on Twitter’s homepage, as well as on Grande’s YouTube channel (where she counts 16.8 million subscribers) and Facebook page (32.8 million followers), Variety reports. The show kicks off at 3 pm ET.
The streaming deals between were led by Grande’s manager, Scooter Braun, per Variety, and additional digital and TV distribution partners are expected to be announced in coming days.
One Love Manchester will take place at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground — a stone’s throw from where a terrorist killed 22 concertgoers at the Manchester Arena during Grande’s Dangerous Woman Tour on May 22. One of the victims, an 18-year-old YouTube superfan named Georgina ‘Gina’ Callander, was commemorated by some of her favorite creators via a GoFundMe campaign that has raised roughly $16,000 for her family thus far.
