Paris Olympics Closing Ceremony: Date, time, who is performing and how to watch on the BBC

Organisers have remained tight-lipped about who is appearing, but film star Tom Cruise is heavily rumoured to be taking part by abseiling down from the top of the stadium.

There will be a segment during which Paris hands over to the next hosts of the summer Olympics – Los Angeles in 2028 – and that could be where the Hollywood star features.

LA28 has confirmed musicians and native Californians Billie Eilish, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Snoop Dogg – the rapper who has been prominent throughout the Games – will be involved in the official handover to Los Angeles at the end of the closing ceremony.

R&B singer H.E.R. will perform the US national anthem live in Paris.

The closing ceremony will feature performers, dancers and circus artists taking part alongside famous headlining acts, with French musical artists Air and Phoenix also expected to perform.

Artistic director Thomas Jolly said the show was called ‘Records’, and it promises to take the audience on a science-fiction dream-like immersive journey through time.

That will begin from the origins of the Olympic Games and will go to a dystopian future when the Olympics have disappeared and must be reinvented.
