Jordan- Manchester Arena reopens after May terror attack


(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) London. Sept.9 (Petra) -- The Manchester Arena will reopen, on Saturday, with a charity concert, three months on from the devastating terror attack which left 22 people dead.

We Are Manchester will be headlined by Noel Gallagher and the High Flying Birds.

General Manager of Manchester Arena James Allen said: "May's events will never be forgotten, but they will not stop us – or Mancunian music fans – from coming together to enjoy live music. Manchester Arena has celebrated over 20 years hosting some of the greatest musical talent of all time, and the significant economic and cultural impact that this has on the city means that this legacy must continue." The profits from the We Are Manchester benefit concert will go to the Manchester Memorial Fund, a charitable trust, which will go towards establishing a permanent memorial to mark the May 22 attack, when a bomb was detonated at an Ariana Grande concert.
