Los Angeles: According to sources, music icons Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, known for their groundbreaking performances and global influence, are expected to perform in the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics on Sunday.
Variety.com reports that the three artists will be seen from Los Angeles in a captivating mix of pre-taped and live performances, promising a unique and unforgettable show.
Producer Ben Winston is collaborating with French producers for the Closing Ceremony.
Tensions are high around live music events this week after authorities in Austria thwarted a terrorist attack plot during singer Taylor Swift’s performance in Vienna with her “The Eras Tour.”
Two high-ranking individuals familiar with the planning for the surprise L.A. concert stunt said security and crowd control had been a concern for local officials even before the news from Vienna.
Representatives for the Olympics and the musical artists declined to comment.
At the closing ceremony, the musical performances from Los Angeles are expected to follow a much-anticipated stunt by Tom Cruise. Cruise will jump on his motorcycle for an average day of death-defying tricks in France before tossing to a pre-recorded package that will see him parachute down next to the iconic Hollywood sign.
At the end of Sunday’s Closing Ceremony, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass will accept the Olympic Torch, a symbol of unity and sportsmanship, and bring it back as she returns from Paris.
