It’s not just the Foo Fighters who will be performing at the
closing ceremony. The Kaiser Chiefs, Ellie Goulding and James Blunt
have also been confirmed to be entertaining the crowds at the
event, which will also include the medal presentation for the
athletes.
Speaking ahead of the ceremony, Prince Harry commented, “I am
hugely grateful to all the organisers and artists for coming
together in September to put on what will be a truly awesome
concert.”
The games, which are being held at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
in East London, will see more than 400 service personnel from 14
different nations compete and Prince Harry is fully
behind the sporting event and the afterparty, saying “For those
who didn’t make it back from operations, this is also for you.”
Prince Harry is not alone
in his support for the games, with a mass of celebrities also
pledging their allegiance to the games.
The closing ceremony looks set to be a spectacular finale to what
will be a truly inspiring four days. If the headline acts weren’t
enough, the concert will also see The Vamps, Rizzle Kicks and the
Military Wives Choir take to the stage and if you are worried about
not being able to get tickets, then worry no more as the BBC will
be screening highlights of the spectacle on television.
Chris Martin of Coldplay will write the anthem for the Opening
Ceremony of the Invictus Games, making that event just as special
as the closing ceremony.
What with all of the artists confirmed and more to be announced,
the closing ceremony looks set to be one of the greatest events of
the year and with Prince Harry’s status as a party loving Royal, it
looks as though he will be rocking all night to some of the worlds
greatest music and reminding us all to rock on!
