PARIS — The closing ceremony for Paris Olympics will bring out several stars: Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg and Red Hot Chili Peppers are scheduled to perform on Sunday.
The all-star lineup will take to the stage as part of the 2028 Los Angeles Games handover. Each of the musical artists was born in California, including HER, who is expected to sing the US national anthem live at the Stade de France.
“This is the biggest moment in LA28 history to date, as the Olympic flag passes from Paris to LA,” LA28 President Casey Wasserman said in a statement. “We are excited to present the very best of LA with local artists and are grateful to Billie, HER, Chili Peppers and Snoop for their collaboration on what will be an incredible show for a global audience that will give fans a taste of what is to come in 2028.”
The opening ceremony offered Lady Gaga and the return of Celine Dion to the performance stage following her career-threatening diagnosis of stiff person syndrome.
Los Angeles will host the Olympics for the third time, with previous games held there in 1984 and 1932. It will be the first time the city will host the Paralympics.
