Ariana Grande will be joined by Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Pharell Williams and more on Sunday during a charity concert to honor the victims of the Manchester bombing last week.

The “One Love Manchester” show will be held at the city’s old Trafford cricket ground, almost two weeks after a suicide bomber detonated an improvised explosive device at the Manchester Arena which killed 22 people.

According to BBC News, Take That, One Direction’s Niall Horan, Miley Cyrus, Usher and Coldplay will also perform at the benefit concert. Those who attended Grande’s original concert will receive free tickets.

Tickets can be purchased on Ticketmaster, which noted that all ticket proceeds will go to the British Red Cross Society for its Manchester Emergency Fund supporting the victims of the Manchester bombing.

Grande announced she would be returning to Manchester for the concert four days after the attack, writing, “our response to this violence must be to come together, to help each other, to love more, to sing louder and to live more kindly and generously than we did before.”

Grande’s “Dangerous Woman” tour was postponed Wednesday in response to the attack.

Salman Abedi, a 22-year-old U.K.-born man of Libyan descent, detonated a homemade bomb following the concert on May 22. More than 50 people were injured. It marks the worst terrorist attack in the U.K. since the London bombings on July 7, 2005, that claimed 52 lives.
