Billie Eilish and Tom Cruise will take to the stage for the Olympic closing ceremony on Sunday night with performances streamed live directly into the French stadium.
The 62-year-old actor is expected to perform a daring Mission Impossible-style stunt at the Stade de France to mark the passing of the Olympic baton from France to Los Angeles for the 2028 games.
The Rain Man star will be joined by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Billie Eilish – all acts have been chosen for their connections to the famous West Coast city.
The 52-year-old rapper has been a breakout star at this year’s Olympics and has been spotted at several events.
This year he hosted the controversial break dancing competition and was also seen dressing up and enjoying dressage and basketball.
Bridging the gap between the games, which will be held in France this year, and the next host country, all of the artists have a deep connection to Los Angeles.
Global pop star Billie, 22, was born in Los Angeles and previously revealed how the place shaped her and her music, describing her album Happier Than Ever as a “love letter” to the city.
Snoop Dogg is a Long Beach native and is one of the West Coast’s most famous and prolific rappers and producers, while the Red Hot Chilli Peppers emerged from Los Angeles in the 1980s.
The location of Sunday’s Los Angeles performances has not been disclosed due to security measures taken after three Taylor Swift concerts were cancelled in Austria because of a bomb plot.
Snoop Dogg, 52, who has been a familiar face at this year’s Games, will also perform because of his connection to Los Angeles, having been born and raised in Long Beach.
The rapper has been a breakout star at this year’s Olympics and hosted the controversial break dancing competition as well as watching dressage.
Earlier this afternoon tThe Eiffel Tower was evacuated after a man was seen climbing the iconic Parisian landmark hours before the closing ceremony was due to begin.
The shirtless man was seen climbing the 1,083-foot (330 m) summit and was spotted just above the Olympic rings that adorn the second section of the monument, just above the first observation deck.
More than 30,000 police officers were deployed in and around Paris to oversee the final Olympic events and Sunday’s closing ceremony.
This comes as security authorities are on high alert after Austrian authorities managed to prevent a planned terror attack during the pop star’s series of shows in Vienna for her Eras Tour.
Measures have also been taken in Los Angeles to counter potential threats from the air, land and sea as the Californian city prepares to have the eyes of the world on them.
Organizers hope the closing ceremony will go more smoothly than the opening ceremony, which was widely criticized by Christians for mocking their faith.
The masterpiece received some criticism for a banquet scene in which an actor playing the Greek god Dionysus took center stage at a table with drag queens, which was interpreted as reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci’s painting The Last Supper.
Some religious groups condemned the ceremony, including the Catholic Church in France, which said it included “scenes of mockery and ridicule of Christianity.”
