The London Olympics are the main event of 2012 for sports fans. On August 12, spectators at Stratford Stadium, as well as TV viewers, will be able to watch the closing ceremony of the XXX Summer Olympics, which will be attended by the best British performers.
The performance, which will take place on the final day of the 2012 Olympics, is not without reason called the "Symphony of British Music", because this evening the most popular British musicians and bands will appear on the stage of the Olympic Stadium. This show will be a kind of excursion into the history of British music of the 20th century.
According to an unofficial guest star list leaked to the press back in July, various musical eras will feature artists and bands such as The Queen, Pet Shop Boys, Take That, Kaiser Chiefs, The Who, Elbow, Adele, George Michael, Liam Gallagher. In addition, the rock band Muse is expected to perform, whose single "Survival" became the anthem of the XXX Summer Olympic Games.
For fans of British pop music, the organizers of the ceremony have prepared a big surprise: former members of the Spice Girls have confirmed their performance on the show. The girls will perform together for the first time since 2008. They will perform two songs, including their 1996 hit "Wannabe".
The directors of the ceremony and young performers did not pass by. For example, One Direction, which has become famous for its participation in the British musical television project X-factor, will take part in the show, and the English performer Ed Sheeran will perform a cover version of one of the hits of the legendary group Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here".
Unfortunately, not all of the guest stars have confirmed their attendance at the closing ceremony. It was expected that several songs will be performed by Robbie Williams, but the famous singer refused, explaining that in August his wife Ayda Field should give birth to a child, and he would like to be with her at that moment. The cult punk band Sex Pistols said that performing at the closing of the Olympics could damage their reputation, and the rock group Manic Street Preachers and one of the former lead singers of the Oasis group Noel Gallagher were forced to refuse to participate in the concert due to the tour planned for this time. …
The closing ceremony of the 2012 Olympics will be interesting not only for music fans, but also for people interested in fashion and ballet. One of the numbers of the upcoming show - showing the collections of designers Vivienne Westwood, Stella McCartney and Sarah Burton. The outfits will be presented by famous British models - Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Stella Tennant, Lily Donaldson. In the final of the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, a performance by the ballerina of the Royal Ballet Darcy Bussel is planned.
