The stars turned out in force for charity benefit A Concert For Charlottesville on Sunday.

A slew of musicians, including Ariana Grande, took to the stage at the University of Virginia to perform following the horrific race riots in Charlottesville last month.

Other stars in the show-stopping line-up included Coldplay, Pharrell, Justin Timberlake and Dave Matthews Band – who all dazzled fans with typically energetic sets.

While the concert was free, fans were urged to make a donation for the riot’s victims, their families and the first responders, who are ‘devoted to the promotion of healing, unity and justice locally and nationwide’, according to the concert’s website.

Stepping onto the stage in a pair of tapered khaki green cargo pants and a grey crop top, Ariana Grande belted out her biggest hits, including Side To Side and Dangerous Woman.

Her long brown hair was worn sleek and pulled back in one of her trademark high ponytails.

Before stepping onto the stage, the petite pop star was seen embracing members of her team as they prayed backstage.

It is no wonder Ariana was keen to help out – having organised her own fundraiser One Love Manchester in June, following the tragic suicide bombing at her gig at the Manchester Arena on May 22.

Following Ariana was Justin Timberlake – who opened his set with an emotional acoustic rendition of A Change Is Gonna Come.

The former *NSYNC star, 36m looked hip in a pair of cropped black pants, which he teamed with white sneakers.

He also wore a black T-shirt patterned with a check print, and donned a black blazer over the top.

Wearing a black fedora over his shaved head, the sexy singer also showed off some of his famous dance moves.

Justin finished out his set with rousing back-to-back performances of his hits, Cry Me A River, Rock Your Body, Can’t Stop The Feeling! and SexyBack.

Taking a political stance, the multi-hyphenate yelled, ‘Love trump hate,’ before walking off the stage.

Backstage, Justin posed for photos alongside Dave Matthews, another headliner at the all-star concert.

Known for their elaborate and energetic sets, Coldplay certainly didn’t disappoint when they performed next.

Taking to the stage in a pair of customized blue jeans and a blue T-shirt, the band’s 40-year-old frontman, Chris Martin couldn’t contain his enthusiasm as he danced and jumped around the stage.

Throughout the band’s set, the talented musician both positioned himself at the piano and also picked up a guitar.

Dave Matthews was up next, who declared to the crowds that his performance was ‘in the name of love’.

The prolific musician took to the stage in a pair of olive green pants and a dark blue shirt, rocking out on the guitar while accompanied by his eponymous band.

The 50-year-old Ants Marching singer thrilled the crowd even more later on, when he brought out legendary musician Stevie Wonder for a surprise performance.

Clearly emotional, the 67-year-old famously blind singer started out by saying while he hasn’t seen the sky and the birds in his lifetime, he’s seen other things.

‘I’ve seen leaders talk about annihilating life… I’ve seen people hating people… I’ve seen people killing people in churches… I’ve seen hate marching down the street disguised as a cry for equality,’ he recalled in what was the show’s most poignant speech.

‘If I can see if, I know you can see it.’

Clasping Dave’s hand, Stevie then took a knee on the stage.

‘I take a knee for America, and two knees in prayer for our world,’ he said, on the back of Trump’s recent inflammatory remarks regarding sportsmen who refused to stand for the National Anthem as a sign of protest.

Later taking his place at the piano, the Isn’t She Lovely singer gave a moving rendition of John Lennon’s Imagine, accompanied by the Dave Matthews Band.

They then collaborated on a rousing rendition of Stevie’s hit, Superstition.

Changing up the lyrics slightly, Stevie sung: ‘I’ll take a knee for love, I’ll take a knee for unity, I’ll take a knee for America, I’ll take a knee for the world.’

Like Stevie, Pharrell also took a knee at the concert – admitting he was doing it in solidarity with his home state.

‘If I want to get on my knees right now for the people of my city, for the people of my state, that’s what this flag is for,’ the 44-year-old, who hails from Virginia, told the crowd.

Pharrell stepped onto the stage in a pair of black Adidas sweatpants, which featured Asian lettering down the sides.

The Happy singer also donned a colorful tie-dye T-shirt printed with a yellow smiley face, beneath a black denim jacket.
