DIPLO’S MAJOR LAZER TO PERFORM AT CLOSING CEREMONY OF 2026 WINTER OLYMPICS

MAJOR LAZER SET TO PLAY SELECTION OF ICONIC SONGS WITH SURPRISE GUESTS

February 19, 2026—Diplo’s Major Lazer—the boundary-pushing global pop force—are bringing a centerpiece performance to the Closing Ceremony of the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics in Verona, Italy. The hitmakers are set to play many of their biggest songs, including the Diamond-certified “Lean On,” with several surprise guests. Fans can watch the performance live on NBC and Peacock at 2:00 P.M. ET on Sunday, February 22.

The Diplo-founded ensemble has become one of the most successful groups in pop, featuring longtime members Walshy Fire and Ape Drums alongside new addition America Foster. Major Lazer has delivered era-defining hits including “Lean On,” 4x Platinum-certified “Cold Water” and 2x Platinum-certified “Light It Up,” and collaborated with an array of global superstars such as Beyoncé, J Balvin, WizKid, El Alfa, Burna Boy, Travis Scott, Ariana Grande and many more.

The Olympic performance will kick off a landmark 2026 for the group, who are touring across the globe for their first extensive tour in seven years. They will make their return to Coachella, Governors Ball and Bonnaroo—their first appearances there in almost a decade—and headline Ultra, alongside numerous other major festivals.

Major Lazer are set to debut new songs across their upcoming festival dates as fans eagerly await more music following the release of the group’s highly anticipated mixtape, GYALGEBRA, in November. The project ushered in a new chapter for Major Lazer, marking the first release with their newest member, London multi-hyphenate America Foster. Her verses light up five of the mixtape’s tracks and feature on the single “BRUK DOWN” with iconic dancer-choreographer Parris Goebel and Toronto it-girl SadBoi, plus the explosive “PEPPA POT.”
