The first big act was French indie band Phoenix, who performed their smash hit, “Lisztomania,” as athletes surrounded the stage. The band then teamed up with Kavinsky for a rendition of the holiday anthem, “Nightcall.”
Then it was time for the big headliners: Billie Eilish, Snoop Doggand the Red Hot Chili Peppers, all performing on a Los Angeles beach… as the proverbial torch was passed to Los Angeles, host city of the next Summer Games in 2028.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers let loose with one of their classics, “Can’t Stop”… while Eilish performed her latest hit, “BIRDS OF A FEATHER,” alongside her band and producer brother Trial.
The brother-sister musical duo proudly showed their support for Team USA, sporting plenty of red, white and blue as they sang on the lifeguard stage.
The pinnacle of Los Angeles, for what it’s worth.

Snoop, who has been attending several sporting events in Paris in recent weeks, closed out his performances with one of his biggest hits, “Drop It Like It’s Hot.”

Snoop was then joined by Dr. Dreas they rocked out to “The One and Only”… while an excited crowd jumped up and down.
The 2028 Olympics are four years away, but Los Angeles has already made it clear… expect a star-studded crowd when the games come to the United States!
And we can’t wait!
