Two musicians from California will participate in the Closing Ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris this weekend, including one from Solano County.
On Friday, Comcast’s NBC Universal confirmed Grammy Award-winning artist and Vallejo native H.E.R. will sing the U.S. National Anthem during the ceremony.
The other California musician who will be participating in the closing ceremony is rapper Snoop Dogg, who hails from the Los Angeles area, the host city for the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. Snoop Dogg revealed H.E.R. as the singer of the National Anthem during NBC’s prime-time Olympic Games coverage on Thursday.
The Closing Ceremony of the Summer Olympic Games typically features a “handover” event, by which the host city of the now-concluded competitive tournament passes the torch — literally speaking — to the next host city.
The Closing Ceremony will air live on NBC stations on Sunday at 12 p.m. Pacific Time (3 p.m. Eastern Time). The ceremony will be broadcast on KCRA-TV (Channel 3) in north and east Solano County, and on KNTV (Channel 11) in Vallejo and Benicia. Streamers can watch the Closing Ceremony live on Peacock, which costs $8 per month. An encore replay of the Closing Ceremony will air on KCRA and KNTV at 7 p.m. Pacific Time.
