It’s been two years since the horrific Manchester shooting, which took the lives of 22 people and injured 500 others at an Ariana Grande concert.
It was certainly a dark time for Ariana, who later admitted to suffering from anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. In the wake of the attack, she suspended her tour and then, two weeks later, returned to the stage to perform in the memorial concert she co-organized, helping raise $13 million for those affected by the bombing.
Now, the singer is returning to the city to headline Manchester Pride!
August’s Manchester Pride Festival will take place at the city’s new, 9,000-capacity outdoor venue in Mayfield. Ariana’s performance is scheduled for Aug. 25.
In addition to Ariana, the festival will also include performances by Kim Petras, Bananarama, and Years & Years, among others!
