VIDEO: One Love Manchester raises £2.35M and you can watch the entire show online

Some of the music world’s biggest names shared the stage in Manchester on Sunday night.

The reason for that would be the One Love Manchester benefit concert, which took place two weeks after the horrific attacks in Manchester and just 24 hours after another terrorist attack in London.

The star studded lineup raised £2.35 million towards the British Red Cross, bringing the total amount raised since the Manchester attacks to £9.6 million.

After the 50,000 attendees shared a moment of silence, Marcus Mumford led off the proceedings with a beautiful rendition of Mumford & Son’s song "Timshel" from the band’s debut album.


Manchester’s own Take That then took the stage for three songs before their ex-member, Robbie Williams, performed a pair of songs on his own.

It was then another Williams’, this time Pharrel, turn to perform, which started with the song "Get Lucky", which Pharrel performed with Mumford instead of the usual Daft Punk.

Miley Cyrus then joined Pharrel to sing his hit song Happy before she took the stage for one of her own.

Niall Horan followed that up with a performances of "This Town" and "Slow Hands" before Ariana Grande took the stage.


She sang a few songs and Little Mix added one as well before the Black Eyed Peas joined Grande on stage for maybe the most relevant and moving song of the night in "Where Is The Love."

From there, Grande was involved in a number of the show’s performance including one with her boyfriend, Mac Miller, and one with Cyrus.


The crowd was also treated to two or three songs from each of Katy Perry, Justin Bieber and Coldplay, who were joined for a song by Liam Gallagher, before the show finished up with "One Last Time" and "Somewhere Over The Rainbow," which were sung by Grande.

The entire three and a half hour show was live streamed to Facebook and remains up for anyone to watch and enjoy.
