The Paris 2024 Olympics will be remembered for many things: drag performances, embarrassing accusations against some female athletes, swimming in the Seine and, of course, incredible sporting achievements. On Sunday, the Games will add another memory to that list when Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg and the Red Hot Chili Peppers perform at the event’s Closing Ceremony in Los Angeles, officially handing the Paris Olympics over to the 2028 host city.
Closing Ceremony for 2024 Summer Olympics is scheduled to begin Sunday, August 11 at 3:00 pm EDTKicking off at the Stade de France north of Paris, it will last just over two hours and feature live and pre-recorded performances. For fans in the United States, the events will be available to watch on NBC (the Games’ sole distributor in the United States) and Peacock, which have really lived up to the Olympics viewing billing this year. You can also stream the event on NBCOlympics.com.
The Closing Ceremony festivities will go ahead despite the state of alert surrounding live music events following a terrorist attack foiled looking ahead to the Vienna leg of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour this week. According to a report from VarietyCrowd control and security were a concern for local officials even before news of the planned attack in Austria broke. Variety did not reveal the location of the performances because of those fears.
In addition to Southern California heroes Eilish, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Snoop (also an internet hero during the Paris Games), there are rumors that Tom Cruise will perform a stunt to move the Olympics from their 2024 home to Los Angeles.
The 2028 Summer Olympics will be held from July 14 to 30 in Los Angeles.
