The concert will also be livestreamed to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and iHeartRadio.
In a statement issued soon after the 22 May incident, 23-year-old Grande announced that she would be “returning” to the city to play another concert.

The benefit concert also comes a day after another attack on London Bridge and Borough Market in central London claimed the lives of at least seven people.
Grande took to Twitter earlier today to extend her thoughts to those affected in England’s capital city.
Praying for London ♡
