The closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games will be remembered for a surprise performance by Angèle. The 28-year-old Belgian singer made a remarkable entrance onto the stage at the Stade de France, singing “Nightcall“, Kavinsky’s planetary hit.
Dressed in a black jumpsuit by Coperni, Angèle appeared as if by magic in the middle of a mysterious mist. Her melodious voice offered a suspended moment to the spectators. Accompanied by the group Phoenix and Kavinsky himself, the artist demonstrated once again her talent and her ability to reinvent herself.
A “timeless” experience: Angèle’s words after her Olympic performance
Deeply moved by this experience, Angèle shared her joy on social media. “I don’t have the words to thank Phoenix for inviting me to perform with them and Kavinsky at this closing ceremony,” she said. The singer added: “I never thought I would have such an incredible experience one day – especially surrounded by the greatest athletes from all over the world – it was a timeless moment that filled Paris with magic.”
The pride of a family: the touching reactions of Angèle’s parents
Laurence Bibot, Angèle’s mother, was present in the stands of the Stade de France to witness this historic moment.
Yseult, the French Touch groups, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Billie Eilish and the unmissable Snoop Dogg hosted the musical part of this evening, which lacked a little rhythm but which offered a great show to the millions of viewers who followed the event.
