Rock band Phoenix performs Lisztomania during the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics 🔥 | #Paris2024
Phoenix frontman Thomas Mars, who performed at Sunday's concert at the Stade de France for the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris, said he was concerned about the safety of the athletes during the show.
French indie rock band Phoenix performed a stirring version of their hit “Lisztomania” surrounded by hundreds of athletes.
Mars is used to live performances, but the Olympic closing ceremony was a different kind of performance, he told French radio France Inter on Monday morning, because of the exuberance of the athletes in the crowd who completely lost control during the musical performance.
