American singer Ariana Grande will hold a concert on August 15 in Seoul as part of her resumed global tour that was suspended briefly after a terrorist attack in England, organizers said.

The concert will be held at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, according to Hyundai Card, a credit card company affiliated with South Korea's Hyundai Motor Group. The domed stadium used as the home ballpark for the Nexen Heroes has a capacity for more than 16,000 spectators. Ticket prices range from 99,000 won (87 US dollars) to 143,000 won.

Grande's music videos had been viewed a total of more than eight billion times online. At the end of her concert on May 22 in Manchester, a suicide bomber detonated an explosive. Grande suspended her tour until June 7 and held a benefit concert on June 4 in Manchester, raising more than $13 million to aid the victims and their families.

The tour resumed in Europe in June and will move to Latin America, followed by stops in Asia and Oceania in August and September.
