The closing ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics will feature a musical extravaganza showcasing Los Angeles' vibrant cultural heritage, headlined by Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

AceShowbiz - The Paris 2024 Olympics will reportedly conclude with a musical celebration featuring some of Los Angeles' most prominent artists. According to a report from Variety, the August 11 closing ceremony will feature performances by three of L.A.'s most influential acts, Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, each representing different facets of the city's rich cultural heritage. According to the publication, the artists will be seen from Los Angeles in a mix of pre-taped and live performances, a musical handover for the 2028 L.A. Olympic Games.

Producer Ben Winston, known for his work with the Grammy Awards and the CBS special "Adele: One Night Only", is collaborating with French producers to coordinate this grand event. However, security has become a significant concern following a thwarted terrorist attack plot during Taylor Swift's Vienna concerts. Security measures in Los Angeles will account for potential threats from air, land and sea, though the exact location of the performances remains undisclosed for safety reasons.

The musical portion promises to be a highlight. A native of Highland Park, Billie Eilish has become one of the defining musical voices of her generation. Her debut album, "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?", not only topped the Billboard 200 but also made her the youngest artist to sweep all four major Grammy categories in a single year. Eilish, whose hits like "Bad Guy" reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, famously paid homage to her city's iconic landmarks and culture in her 2021 concert film, "Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles".

Snoop Dogg, a cornerstone of West Coast rap, has already been a standout figure throughout the Paris Games. From his viral commentary for NBC to his role as the U.S. Olympic torchbearer, Snoop has brought his charisma to the global stage and solidified himself as somewhat of an unofficial ambassador for the country. Snoop, whose career spans three decades, has consistently charted on the Billboard Hot 100, including his debut single "Who Am I (What's My Name?)" and collaborations like "Drop It Like It's Hot".

Rounding out the musical trifecta are hometown heroes, the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Formed in Los Angeles in 1983, the band has been a driving force in the city's music scene for decades. The band has a long history of success on the Billboard charts, with albums like "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" and "Californication" dominating the Billboard 200. Their hit singles "Under the Bridge" and "Scar Tissue" are also staples on the Billboard Hot 100.

But the music isn't the only draw. Hollywood's Tom Cruise is reportedly set to perform a stunt that rivals his most famous movie scenes. Cruise will reportedly rappel from the top of Stade de France clutching the Olympic flag, followed by a pre-recorded segment showing him skydiving onto the iconic Hollywood sign. At the end of Sunday's Closing Ceremony, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass will accept the Olympic Torch and bring it back to the U.S.
