Hey music lovers and sports fans, brace yourselves for an electrifying showdown! Major Lazer, the legendary music project headed by superstar DJ Diplo, is dropping beats this Sunday (Feb. 22) at the Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony in Verona, Italy. Just announced a day before the big event, the performance promises to be a spectacular extravaganza.
With their global smash hit “Lean On” — which once soared to No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 — on the playlist, Major Lazer is set to set the stage on fire. And guess what? They'll be joined by some special guest stars, though who they are remains a tightly kept secret!
Catch all the action as it happens! The performance will be streaming live on NBC and Peacock at 2 p.m. ET. Want to catch the whole Olympic vibe for free? We’ve got you covered with a handy guide on how to watch all of NBC’s coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics.
The closing ceremony at the Verona Olympic Arena not only celebrates epic athletic achievements but also shines a spotlight on talent from Italy. You'll also see performances from Italian artist Achille Lauro, actress Benedetta Porcaroli, and DJ Gabry Ponte.
In a classic Diplo move, he posted a hilarious Instagram reel that had us all biting our nails — it showed him cycling down the highway, almost missing his flight to the Olympics! Relax, though; he made it on time, cocktail in hand. 😎
Unfortunately for fans in Mexico, Diplo had to cancel his EDC Mexico gig this weekend due to some logistical hiccups. But hey, the world is watching as Major Lazer brings their magic to the Olympic stage — and we’re all invited!
Fun fact: Major Lazer hasn't released a full album since 2020's Music Is the Weapon, so this performance is sure to offer some fresh surprises. Ready to party?
