The handoff of the Summer Olympic Games from Paris to Los Angeles will feature a star-studded concert with performances by Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, according to Variety. These iconic L.A. artists will perform live from an undisclosed location in Los Angeles, adding a thrilling West Coast flavor to the Closing Ceremony in Paris.
The musical showcase, produced in part by Grammy Awards producer Ben Winston, will follow a much-anticipated stunt by Tom Cruise, who will parachute down next to the Hollywood sign in a pre-recorded segment. This grand spectacle comes amid heightened security concerns following a foiled terrorist attack plot during Taylor Swift's concerts in Vienna.
The selection of Eilish, Snoop Dogg, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers is a clear nod to Los Angeles' rich musical heritage. Each artist has deep roots in the city and represents a different facet of its vibrant music scene.
The Closing Ceremony will conclude with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass accepting the Olympic Torch, marking the official start of L.A.'s journey towards hosting the 2028 Summer Games.
With less than four years to go, the city is gearing up for the massive undertaking of hosting the world's largest sporting event.
