Ariana Grande will join some of the biggest names in music to perform at the gig in aid of the victims of the May 22 bomb attack

Ariana Grande, the US singer whose Manchester Arena concert was targeted during last week's terrorist attack, will play a televised concert today to honour the victims.

The all-star benefit gig will see some of the biggest names in music assemble alongside the 23-year-old pop star to help raise funds for those who were injured and the relatives of those who died in the attack.

In a statement last week, Grande vowed to return to Manchester, saying: "We won't let hate win."

On Saturday, it was announced that One last Time has been re-released as a benefit single, with all proceeds from sales going to the We love Manchester emergency fund.

Here's everything you need to know about who is playing at Sunday's One Love Manchester event.

Grande will be joined by several major pop and rock artists at Lancashire Cricket Club's Old Trafford ground in Manchester. An unverified image apparently showing the evening's set-list has been circulating online:

These are the acts who have been confirmed so far, their running order, and their songs:

Singer Katy Perry, who paid tribute to the victims during her performance at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend on Saturday, shared the announcement with her Twitter followers, saying: "The music community stands together with love and in solidarity. I am humbled to be a part of this show."

Will Take That reunite?

The running order suggests that Robbie Williams will join his former band, Take That, on stage before his solo slot. Williams originally left the band in 1995, rejoined for four years from 2010 and sang with them briefly in February 2017 when they performed their 2010 single The Flood for the season finale of BBC One talent show Let it Shine.

Will Oasis reunite at the concert?

Twitter has been awash with rumours that the warring Gallagher brothers will patch things up and sing their classic hit Don't Look Back In Anger together on Sunday night.

The whispers gained traction on Wednesday after Black Eyed Peas singer Taboo tweeted a list of performers at the event and managed to tag Oasis, before apologising and explaining that an error had been made.

Liam Gallagher, however, has now put paid to the story although he has hinted that he would be interested in reconciling with brother Noel st some point.

“Mate, I don’t think so. I mean, I’m up for it but I think we’re booked for a gig somewhere," he told Radio 1, when asked about the possibility of the siblings taking to the stage together on Sunday.

“I think we [Liam, who is touring as a solo artist, and his band] are playing in Germany, so we’re already booked, but I would have loved to have done it.”

Asked directly if a reunion was on the cards, he added: "No, it ain’t. Everyone knows I love our kid. He doesn’t speak to me, we don’t speak to each other. 

“I’ll speak to him some day. It’s all very sad, but we’ll get over it.

"I guess it mustn’t be nice for my mam. If Oasis ever got back together…, if they do, they do. If they don’t, they don’t. A lot of people go, ‘Oh, leave it in the past, you were great then.'

“Mate, if we ever got back together, it would be happening. There’d be no dodgy gigs, it’d be bang on. So there is unfinished business there, but we’ll see what happens. In the meantime, we’re two little solo boys doing our little things, innit.”

How can I get tickets?

The tickets, worth £40 each, sold out in less than 20 minutes on Thursday as Ticketmaster's website struggled under the weight of demand.

All net ticket proceeds from the show will go to the We Love Manchester Emergency fund, set up by Manchester City Council in partnership with the British Red Cross to support grieving families and victims of the attack.

The fund's total currently stands at more than £6 million, with Red Cross chief executive Mike Adamson praising Grande's "gesture of solidarity".

What time is it on TV?

The One Love Manchester concert will be broadcast live on BBC One on Sunday from 6.55pm to 10pm and will be available to watch on demand via BBC iPlayer. 

It will also be on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Radio Manchester and streamed live online by MTV, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Apple, Viacom, iHeart Media, ANC and TMC France.

BBC director general Lord Hall said: "Bringing the nation together, the BBC is proud to be broadcasting what will undoubtedly be a moving tribute to the victims and their loved ones."

The show will also stream live on Ariana Grande's Facebook page and YouTube channel.

What happened in the Manchester attack?

Twenty-two people were killed, including an eight-year-old girl, and more than 60 people were injured on Monday May 22, when suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated an explosive at the Manchester Arena, a popular entertainment venue at the heart of the city. 

Uber will donate concert fares to Manchester charity

Taxi company Uber has announced it will match any fares to and from the concert this evening with a charitable donation of equal value to the We Love Manchester emergency fund, set up to support those affected by the attack.
