Paris: Several celebrities will be present at the Paris Olympics closing ceremony on Sunday, including Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, and Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
This all-star lineup will take the stage as part of the handover to the 2028 Los Angeles Games. H.E.R., who is anticipated to perform the U.S. national anthem live at the Stade de France, is among the musicians who are all natives of California, the Associated Press reported.
“This is the biggest moment in LA28 history to date, as the Olympic flag passes from Paris to LA,” said LA28 chairperson Casey Wasserman in a statement. “We are thrilled to feature the very best of LA with local artists and are grateful to Billie, H.E.R., the Chili Peppers and Snoop for their collaboration on what will be an incredible show to a global audience that will give fans a taste of what’s to come in 2028.”
Lady Gaga performed during the opening ceremony, and Celine Dion made her stage comeback following her diagnosis of career-threatening stiff person syndrome.
The 1984 and 1932 Summer Olympics were held in Los Angeles, where they will return for their third hosting. The Paralympics will be held in the city for the first time.
