Paris Olympics Closing Ceremony features Justice and more: Watch

Justice made a memorable mark on the 2024 Paris Olympics closing ceremony, contributing their iconic music to the grand finale.

Justice took a prominent role in the 2024 Paris Olympics closing ceremony, bringing their distinctive sound to one of the year’s most memorable events. The French electronic duo, well-loved for their unique style, contributed nearly 18 minutes of music to the August 11th celebration, where other notable acts like Phoenix, Kavinsky, and Air also performed.

Justice’s tracks, including ‘Genesis,’ ‘Love S.O.S.,’ and their collaboration with Thundercat on ‘The End,’ were central to the evening. ‘Genesis’ played as athletes entered the Stade de France, setting the stage for the handover of the Olympic torch to Los Angeles, the next host city for the Summer Games. The music created a pleasant and uplifting atmosphere at the ceremony.

This wasn’t the first time Justice’s music had been featured in the 2024 Olympics. Their 2007 hit ‘D.A.N.C.E.‘ made an appearance in the opening ceremony, making them a significant musical presence throughout the Games. Their tracks seemed to capture the excitement and joy of the event.

The closing ceremony was also highlighted by a performance from Phoenix, who brought a mixtape-style set to the stage, featuring popular songs like ‘Lisztomania‘ and ‘1901.’ They were joined by a diverse group of artists, including Kavinsky, Belgian pop artist Angèle, Cambodian rapper VannDa, Air, and Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig. The variety of musical styles on display provided a fitting conclusion to the Olympics, reflecting the global diversity of the event.

Justice’s role in the Paris Olympics shows they’re still active in the music scene. Their latest album, ‘Hyperdrama,’ came out in April 2024 after a seven-year break and has been received positively. They have more performances planned, including at Miami’s III Points festival in October, indicating they’re still making music and connecting with fans.
