Manchester Police vow tighter security at Ariana Grande benefit concert

Manchester Police say security will be increased for the highly anticipated Ariana Grande benefit concert later Sunday.

The One Love Manchester event will take place as planned but with extra protection.

Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan says Sunday there will be additional security checks and everyone will be searched at the Manchester event. Armed police will also attend.

Grande was performing when a bomber attacked her Manchester Arena concert on May 22, killing 22 people. She will be joined at Sunday’s benefit by Katy Perry, Coldplay, Justin Bieber and others.

Grande has been meeting with some attack victims being treated in Manchester hospitals in recent days.
