The 2024 Olympic Games are drawing to a close, having delivered another edition full of memorable sports highlights and remarkable athletes. The event will be crowned with a spectacular Closing Ceremony that promises to captivate the world.
Expectations are high, especially after an Opening Ceremony that left no one unmoved. From the intrigue of the masked man to Celine Dion’s emotional performance, the show will undoubtedly be remembered in history.
Luckily, the closing spectacle is once again under the direction of Thomas Jolly, the mastermind behind the first spectacle. He’s assembled a lineup of top A-list performers, including the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who have earned a substantial sum for their appearance.
What could be the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ fee for the 2024 Olympics Closing Ceremony
Since the cost of the Opening Ceremony was revealed, it became clear that Thomas Jolly and his production team have the world at their feet, capable of hiring even the most expensive artists. How do you think they got Billie?
The Red Hot Chili Peppers, despite the recent media buzz around Anthony Kiedis’ controversial love life, remain one of the most iconic rock bands and command payment accordingly. It is rumored that, for the Olympics final spectacle, their demands were met, and they would be taking home a hefty sum.
According to Celebrity Talent, the band charges a minimum of $2 million for their performances. Considering that this was the reported fee Celine Dion received a few weeks ago, per TMZ, it’s reasonable to expect the Red Hot Chili Peppers will earn the same—no more, no less. However, Elle has published a strong rumor that none of the A-list artists have been paid for their appearances. Therefore, the amount RHCP receives could range from $0 to seven figures.
Unlike Celine Dion and Lady Gaga, the Kiedis-led band won’t be performing in Paris. Instead, they’ll be playing from Los Angeles, with the performance broadcast to those tuning in for the Closing Ceremony. It’s sure to be a show for the ages!
