The clock keeps ticking and the countdown to the Olympics Closing Ceremony 2024 has begun. The event will take place tomorrow and the last details are being finalized, so it’s time to find out how to watch the performances.
This time, the ceremony will take place at the iconic Stade de France, which has a capacity of 80,000 people and will be transformed into a grand concert hall, according to the official Olympic site.
Each of the acrobats and circus performers present will join the three singers who will deliver the musical performances: pop star Billie Eilish, rapper Snoop Dogg and the legendary rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers.
How and when to watch the Olympics Closing Ceremony
The Olympic Games are nearing their end after 17 days, and one of the most anticipated parts of the event is the closing ceremony, which will begin at 3:00 PM ET on Sunday, August 11, and will last for two hours.
The event will be broadcast in the United States via cable and streaming. It will be available to watch through NBC, Peacock and NBC Olympics. A replay will later be aired during prime time.
Before the performances take place, the channel will air a pre-show at 2:00 PM ET, which will include a recap of the Games’ highlights. Later, at 10 PM, there will be a broadcast about the 2028 Olympics.
Who will carry out the Olympics Closing Ceremony?
Once again, Thomas Jolly will be in charge of orchestrating the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The creative director was responsible for the opening as well, so he will be going all out once more.
The artist has given the event a name, which is not only quite cryptic but may also give us a hint of what’s to come: “Records“. More than 100 performers, dancers and other professionals will be present.
A small part of the show will take place outdoors, featuring spectacular lighting effects and other surprises. The goal is to transport the audience “on a journey to the past, to the origins of the Games, but also to the future“.
“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“, Jolly said.
