The 2024 Olympics Closing Ceremony went down today in Paris with a special set from France's Phoenix with guests Air, Kavinsky, Ezra Koenig, and others. Also, in a much-hyped handoff to Los Angeles, which will host the next Summer Olympics in 2028, local musicians Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, H.E.R., and the Red Hot Chili Peppers all performed for the LA28 Handover Celebration.

From Paris, H.E.R. performed the US National Anthem and Tom Cruise staged a Mission Impossible-style stunt, soundtracked by Red Hot Chili Peppers, to escort the Olympic flag to Los Angeles.
