Paris Olympics closing ceremony: Date, time, venue, performers and how to watch online in India

As the 2024 Paris Olympics, the 33rd installment of the world's premier multi-sport event, draws to a close, anticipation is building for the grand finale on August 11th. Following 17 days of intense competition, the Games will culminate with a spectacular closing ceremony in the heart of the French capital. Unlike the opening ceremony, which dazzled along the banks of the Seine river, the closing ceremony will take place at a distinct venue capable of accommodating 80,000 spectators.

The organizers have successfully showcased the beauty of Paris during the Games. Beach volleyball was played in the iconic backdrop of the Eiffel Tower, creating a picturesque setting for the event. However, hosting events on the polluted Seine River presented challenges that were not easily overcome.

Renowned musicians Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, and the iconic American band Red Hot Chili Peppers are set to grace the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics 2024, as reported. The talented artists will be joining the event remotely from Los Angeles, treating viewers to a captivating blend of pre-recorded and live performances.

The legendary Mission Impossible star is said to showcase a series of daring motorcycle stunts, leading into a pre-recorded segment featuring a parachute landing near the iconic Hollywood sign in LA. The musical extravaganza from Los Angeles will then take center stage.
