One Love Manchester was a benefit concert and British television special organized by Ariana Grande, Simon Moran, Melvin Benn, and Scooter Braun in response to the terrorist bombing that took place after Grande's concert at Manchester Arena on May 22, 2017 which killed 22 concert goers and injured more than 500. The concert took place on June 4, 2017 at Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, and aired live on BBC One in the UK with hosts Sara Cox and Ore Oduba. The concert was attended by 55,000 people. Guest stars included Justin Bieber, the Black Eyed Peas, Coldplay, Miley Cyrus, Mac Miller, Marcus Mumford, Niall Horan, Little Mix, Katy Perry, Take That, Imogen Heap, Pharrell Williams, Robbie Williams, and Liam Gallagher.
Proceeds from the event benefit the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund, which was established by the Manchester City Council and the British Red Cross following the bombing, aimed to help the victims and their families. The British Red Cross reported it received more than £10 million in donations in the 12 hours following the concert. Despite time zone differences, networks from at least 50 countries broadcast the concert live, which was simultaneously streamed live on various platforms, including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
New York's Vulture.com ranked the event as the No. 1 concert of 2017.
