Ariana Grande is set to perform in Manchester, U.K. two years after the tragic bombing that left 22 concertgoers dead.
The multi-platinum singer shared the news to her 61 million Twitter followers that she will be headlining the 2019 Manchester Pride Festival in August.
"Manchester babes, i’m so thrilled to be headlining pride. my heart. I cant wait to see u and I love you so so much," she wrote.
According to the festival’s Twitter page, other artists performing among Grande include Years & Years, Bananarama, Kim Petras and more.
"We are beside ourselves to have you performing for us," the account shared.
On May 22, 2017, a lone suicide bomber set off a device just outside Manchester Arena at the end of Ariana’s "Dangerous Woman" concert, killing 22 of her fans and leaving 139 severely injured.
Only a month later and after some much needed time at her family home in Florida, Ariana co-organized the powerful One Love Manchester benefit concert.
The emotional concert took place in June 2017 and helped benefit the survivors of the bombing and families of the victims from the attack.
She wore an oversized sweatshirt that read, "One Love Manchester" as she opened the concert with Be Alright and Break Free.
Other artists helped show their support for Ari including Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry and more who addressed the importance of always choosing love and coming together in times of need.
The singer’s performance was beyond moving, resulting in countless tears as she concluded the show with Somewhere Over the Rainbow from the classic Wizard of Oz.
During the May 2017 attack, the 25-year-old star was unharmed physically, however, she revealed that she suffered from PTSD following the bombing.
"I hate…yeah…admitting it but it very much is," she told British Vogue after being asked if the dizziness and anxiety she faced was signs of PTSD.
"That’s what everyone was telling me. It’s hard to talk about because so many people have suffered severe, tremendous loss."
She added that "it’s a real thing. I know those families and my fans, and everyone there experienced a tremendous amount of it as well."
She opened up to the magazine a year after the horrific incident.
Ari also got a tattoo of a bumblebee which is a symbol associated with Manchester.
The Thank You Next singer released a four-part docu-series, Dangerous Woman Diaries, which gave viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the benefit concert and her Dangerous Woman tour which released last November on YouTube.
And after an undeniably difficult year for the 25-year-old amid the death of her ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller, being in Manchester will allow the singer to reflect on the importance of leaning on one another in times of sorrow and loss.
Which is exactly what the benefit concert proved.
Fans all around the world are eager to watch Ariana headline Manchester Pride this coming August.
