Ariana Grande has confirmed she will headline Manchester Pride.
The 'god is a woman' hitmaker will be returning to the city in north-west England for the first time since her One Love Manchester concert in June 2017, which she curated in honour of the victims of the Manchester bombing, which
took place at the end of her concert in May 2017 at Manchester Arena.
Alongside a bee - which has become a symbol of Manchester's solidarity in the wake of the attack - emoji, she wrote on Twitter: "manchester babes, i'm so thrilled to be headlining pride. my heart. i cant wait to see u and i love u so so much."
And the 25-year-old singer has promised her Manchester fans that she is "still working" on something "special" for the city's residents.
She shared on her Twitter account: "we are still working on something a little more special for you guys. it takes a while to put these things together but hopefully i can tell you when i see you at pride. i love u. hope that's alright. (sic)"
