Gojira's Mario Duplantier comments on being involved in 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony
Gojira's Mario Duplantier took to social media after the band's French Revolution inspired landmark performance at the Paris Olympic Games opening ceremony on Friday, July 26th. Gojira became the first metal band to play the Olympic Games, delivering a fiery performance alongside mezzo-soprano Marina Viotti.
Duplantier shared the following:
What a tremendous honor to be part of this ambitious and epic ceremony in Paris. I have to admit that headbanging in front of a billion people, hitting as hard as I could in a revolutionary scenery made of fire and blood, was a very gratifying experience! A big step for the metal community as well 🙏 Special thx to the coolest @victor_le_masne and @daphneburki #gojira #paris2024 #olympics2024 #ceremony #conciergerie
