Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg with Dr. Dre and the Red Hot Chili Peppers entertained for the closing celebration of the Olympics, which will next be hosted in Los Angeles.
At the 2024 Summer Olympics Closing Ceremony in Paris, the spotlight shifted to Los Angeles, the host city for the 2028 Games, with a series of star-studded performances. Billie Eilish delivered a smooth rendition of "Birds of a Feather," while Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre joined forces for a nostalgic performance of "The Last Episode." The Red Hot Chili Peppers brought the California vibe with their hit "Can’t Stop."
As the Olympic flame was extinguished in Paris, these L.A.-based artists gave a nod to their home state and the upcoming Olympics in California. Tom Cruise added Hollywood flair by performing a daring stunt at the Paris ceremony, descending from the top of the Stade de France to the "Mission Impossible" theme song.
The Paris event also featured a powerful vocal performance by H.E.R., who sang the U.S. national anthem as part of the handover to L.A. French band Phoenix energized the crowd with hits like "Lisztomania" and "1901," while singer Yseult performed "My Way." The night ended on a high note with a lively mix of performances that bridged the present and the future of the Olympics.
