Ariana Grande will head back to Manchester009 Archives less than two weeks after the terrible attack in which 22 people were killed.

The 23-year-old U.S. singer will perform at the Old Trafford cricket ground, which holds 50,000 people, along with Justin Bieber, Coldplay, and Katy Perry in a tribute concert for the bomb victims, her publicists said in a press release.

Grande posted on Twitter the official poster for the event, featuring a pink logo with a ribbon with Grande’s signature bunny ears:

The gig, which will be broadcast on BBC 1, will raise money for victims and families and proceeds will go to the We Love Manchester emergency fund.

Other acts performing in the night include Take That, One Direction's Niall Horan, Miley Cyrus, Usher, and Pharrell.

In a statement after the attack, Grande said:

“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.”

She suspended her Dangerous Woman tour, including two shows at London's O2 Arena, following the attack.

Earlier, Greater Manchester Police chief constable Ian Hopkins said on BBC Radio Manchester that Grande was keen to return to the city "sooner rather than later."

General admission and hospitality tickets will be on sale through Ticketmaster from Thursday, June 1, 2017, at 10 a.m. BST.
