Celine Dion and Arcade Fire will headline a benefit concert in support of the young daughter of a man killed during Quebec's electionnight shooting.

The show will take place Monday at the Metropolis - the club where Denis Blanchette was fatally shot on Sept. 4.

The 48-year-old lighting technician was killed instantly when he was struck by a single bullet at the Parti Québécois' election-night rally. Another worker was wounded by the same bullet.

Tickets for the concert range from $80 to $175, with the money going to a trust fund for Blanchette's daughter.
