The opening of the Olympic Games was truly something never seen before, as it was a nearly four-and-a-half-hour journey from French culture to the present day. So, we can expect the same from the highly anticipated closing ceremony.
It has been confirmed that Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg and Red Hot Chili Peppers will be the artists performing at the Closing Ceremony in Paris. Previously, we saw Lady Gaga and Celine Dion take center stage at the event.
Artistic director Thomas Jolly will once again be in charge of the shows, so we can expect the final celebration of these 17 days of epic competition to be grand. Check out how long it will last…
How long will the Olympics Closing Ceremony 2024 last?
The closing ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris is scheduled to last approximately 2 hours. It will mark the end of the event, including shows, musical performances and the traditional handover of the Olympic flag to the host city of the next Games.
Jolly has given the closing ceremony a rather cryptic name: “Records”. The official Games website stated that over 100 performers, acrobats, dancers and circus artists will join world-renowned singers in various presentations.
Part of the show will take place outdoors, accompanied by lighting effects and several acrobats in incredible costumes. It aims to transport us “on a journey to the past, to the origins of the Games, but also to the future and, ultimately, to a timeless universe“.
“On August 11, 2024, the Olympic Games will end, and the Olympic flame will be extinguished. That moment will remind us of how precious these Olympic Games are, a unique monument to a shared experience, and therefore fragile“, Thomas revealed.
