NEW YORK: The Black Eyed Peas and Robbie Williams will join Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber and other stars at a charity concert Sunday in Manchester, England.
Live Nation said Thursday that girl group Little Mix has also been added to the show being held in honor of the Manchester bombing that took place at Grande’s concert in the city last week. Twenty-two people died at the show.
Katy Perry, Coldplay, Miley Cyrus, Pharrell Williams, Take That and Niall Horan will also perform. The event, dubbed “One Love Manchester,” will take place at Emirates Old Trafford.
Tickets for the show sold out within minutes of going on sale on Thursday.
Fans who attended Grande’s previous show are being offered free tickets to the concert which will be broadcast on British television. Proceeds from tickets sold will go to the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund set up to aid grieving families and victims of the attack.
Separately, British police said they have released a man who had been arrested in the concert arena bombing investigation without charging him.
Police said the 21-year-old man was set free Wednesday night.
Ten men are in custody being questioned about possible roles in the blast while six people, including a woman, have been released without being charged. The suspects still in custody have not been identified or charged.
