Ariana Grande is reportedly in talks to headline Manchester Pride next year.
The singer was named an honorary citizen of Manchester last year, after a devastating terror attack claimed the lives of 22 people at her concert in May, 2017.
Now, it looks like Ariana is set to return to the city on Sunday, August 25, 2019, as organisers are planning big things to mark 25 years of the festival.
A source told The Sun: “Manchester holds a very special place in Ariana’s heart and she’s made it clear she wants to do whatever she can for the city.”
“She was in talks to perform at Manchester Pride this year but unfortunately they just could not make it work due to various reasons down to space and security.
“But the council and Ariana were so eager to make it happen, they have picked up conversations for 2019 and it is now looking like she will headline the Sunday evening.”
“It is going to be really special if it does work out, particularly given how much Ariana means to everyone in the city,” the source added.
The news comes after Ariana recently announced that she was planning something “special” for her return to Manchester, as she announced dates for her upcoming Sweetener World Tour.
She said: “We need a bit more time getting things together before we can announce that date but we are of course coming and we love you.”
