— Lady Gaga Now 🃏 (@ladygaganownet) July 22, 2024Franco-Malian R&B star Aya Nakamura is widely tipped to perform despite criticism from far-right politicians, including Marine Le Pen who suggested an appearance by her would “humiliate” France.
Celine Dion has also been spotted in Paris, fuelling rumours she too could be involved in either the opening or closing ceremony.
French electro superstars Daft Punk had turned down an invitation to play in the opening ceremony, while French DJ David Guetta has been overlooked.
In the ceremony, nearly 10,000 athletes are set to sail down a six-kilometre stretch of the river from the Austerlitz bridge in the east to the Eiffel Tower, on 85 barges and boats.
