Posted August 18, 20204 yr Tonight is the penultimate virtual concert event in the Ariana forum and it's a special one. 'One Love Manchester' was a benefit concert largely arranged by Ariana herself just two weeks after the Manchester Arena tragedy on May 22, 2017. She showed incredible strength by returning to Manchester on 4th June, 2017 in memory of the 22 lives lost. This time she performed at Old Trafford Cricket Ground to a crowd of around 55,000 people. It was a huge success - raising millions for charity and becoming the most watched television broadcast of 2017 here in the U.K. Ariana brought a whole host of celebrities to join her on the bill - including Liam Gallagher, Miley Cyrus, Little Mix and so many more. It was a courageous response to a heartbreaking attack. The message was loud and clear - we shall continue to perform and not be silenced by hate. The show opens with Marcus Mumford and Ariana closed it with a very memorable back-to-back - this being 'One Last Time' and 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow'. Tonight we shall relive this beautiful benefit concert. It's a little over 3 hours long so we'll be starting at an earlier time this week! Please hit play on the following link at 7pm BST: fX9IRv0OtS4 We shall use this thread to comment along as ever. Hope to see some of you there tonight :heart:
August 18, 20204 yr Author fX9IRv0OtS4 10 minutes :thinking: Edit: oh no Lewis :( okay, I don't think Ari starts singing until song #12 so hopefully you'll at least be around for all of her performances!
August 18, 20204 yr Author Really pleased to finally be watching this in full :heart: 3 years ago I was flicking between two different houses while it was on! I didn't really know 'Timshel' too well until this concert but it's lovely and a fitting opener - "You are not alone in this, together we shall stand, hold your hand" :heart:

August 18, 20204 yr I guess 'Giants' was Take That's current single at the time of this but it's felt a bit out of place in this setlist so far listening back now! 'Rule The World' :heart:
August 18, 20204 yr Author Now we're talking! This song is stunning :wub: I think it'd be my 3rd favourite of theirs after 'Patience' and 'The Flood'!
August 18, 20204 yr Author Take That are one of a handful of acts that I've had the pleasure of seeing live from tonight's line-up btw! At 2011's 'Progress' tour - what a spectacle :wub:
