Variety reports that the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS will be performing at the closing ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games on Sunday, August 11, alongside Billie Eilish and Snoop Dogg.
As part of a musical handover for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games, these performances will take place in L.A., featuring a blend of pre-recorded and live segments, with each artist showcasing different aspects of the city’s vibrant cultural heritage.
Last week, reports surfaced that actor Tom Cruise is set to perform a stunt at the closing ceremony. He is expected to rappel from the top of the Stade de France while holding the Olympic flag, followed by a pre-recorded segment in which he skydives onto the iconic Hollywood sign.
At the conclusion of Sunday’s ceremony, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass will receive the Olympic torch.
The Los Angeles Olympic Games are scheduled to take place from July 14 to July 30, 2028.
At the Olympic Games opening ceremony last month, Lady Gaga and Celine Dion were among the standout musical performers. The event also featured a surprise and controversial performance by GOJIRA, who delivered a rendition of “Ah! Ça Ira,” a song popular during the French Revolution. They were joined by opera singer Marina Viotti and several figures representing the beheaded Queen Marie Antoinette.
