With a star-studded lineup of collaborators, French indie-pop group Phoenix electrified the Stade de France stadium with their contagious enthusiasm at Sunday’s Paris Olympics Closing Ceremony, leaving fans speechless.
A Reminder List
With their well-known hit “Lisztomania,” the band kicked off their performance and got everyone in the mood for a festive celebration of the Games. With covers of hits like “If I Ever Feel Better” and “Funky Squaredance,” which included VannDa, Phoenix maintained the pace. Special guest performances throughout the show included French electronic music pioneers Air, who joined Phoenix for their popular song “Playground Love.” Producer and DJ Kavinsky performed “Nightcall” on stage with singer Angèle, bringing his signature sound with him. Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend joined Phoenix for “Tonight,” demonstrating their musical affinity, as the collaborations continued. The popular song “1901” sent a shockwave through the stadium as the set came to an end and finished with confetti showers.
A Moment of Pride for Phoenix
Phoenix released a statement after their performance expressing their happiness, saying, “We are extremely happy to celebrate at the Olympic Closing Ceremony in our beloved city of Paris with all the athletes and the world.”
Sharing the stage with friends from France and throughout the globe was a beautiful experience that upheld the French spirit and our motto, Freedom, Equality, Phoenix! We are ecstatic to hand off the torch to Los Angeles and the Paralympic athletes for the 2028 Games.
An International Festival
The closing event included performances by international superstars including Billie Eilish, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Snoop Dogg in addition to local talent like Phoenix and Air. The event was expertly moved to LA28, the site of the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles from June 14 to July 30, 2028, thanks to the diverse range of performers.
Phoenix proved their musical skill and ability to engage a global audience with their performance during the Olympic Closing Ceremony. It was a wonderful ode to the spirit of the Games, demonstrating how music can bring people from all backgrounds together. Their incredible performance will surely live on in the memories of those who were fortunate enough to see it, leaving a lasting impression from the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
