The lineup for the prestigious opening ceremony for this year's Olympics has been confirmed - and it includes a certain beloved French metal band who will be mixing it up with pop royalty on their home turf. This year's games take place in Paris, France from this weekend, with the opening ceremony due to take place tomorrow, Friday, July 26.
As reported by Time Out, the ceremony, which will feature a mix of both international stars and French artists across a wide range of genres, will include performances by Lady Gaga, Céline Dion...and extreme metal heavyweights Gojira. Not the kind of lineup you'd see at most festivals, right?! It gets more tantalising: Gojira are set to share the stage with opera singer Marina Viotti for a unique, one-off performance.
