The Paris 2024 Olympics are set to close with an unforgettable musical celebration that promises to be a highlight of the Games. On August 11, the closing ceremony will feature performances by some of Los Angeles’ most iconic artists, marking a symbolic handover to the city for the 2028 Olympics. According to an exclusive report from Variety, the event will spotlight Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, each representing distinct elements of L.A.’s rich cultural heritage.

Billie Eilish, a native of Highland Park, has emerged as one of the most influential voices of her generation. Her debut album, *When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?*, topped the Billboard 200 and earned her a historic Grammy sweep. Known for her hit “Bad Guy,” which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Eilish has a deep connection to her hometown, which she showcased in her 2021 concert film, *Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles*. Her performance at the closing ceremony is expected to be a poignant tribute to the city that shaped her.

Joining Eilish is the legendary Snoop Dogg, a cornerstone of West Coast rap. Throughout the Paris Games, Snoop has been a standout figure, from his viral commentary for NBC to his role as the U.S. Olympic torchbearer. His influence extends beyond music, with ventures into acting, cannabis products, and even a cooking show with Martha Stewart. Snoop’s performance will undoubtedly bring his unique charisma to the global stage once again.

Rounding out the lineup are the Red Hot Chili Peppers, a band synonymous with Los Angeles. Formed in 1983, the band has been a driving force in the city’s music scene for decades, with albums like *Blood Sugar Sex Magik* and *Californication* solidifying their place in rock history. Their hit singles “Under the Bridge” and “Scar Tissue” have become anthems of L.A. culture, making them the perfect choice to represent the city at the closing ceremony.

Adding to the spectacle, Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise is reportedly set to perform a breathtaking stunt. According to TMZ, Cruise will rappel from the top of Stade de France while holding the Olympic flag, followed by a pre-recorded segment showing him skydiving onto the iconic Hollywood sign. This thrilling moment is sure to be a fitting conclusion to the Paris 2024 Olympics, setting the stage for the excitement to come in Los Angeles.
