David Guetta disappointed at not being called up for the opening ceremony

DJ David Guetta has expressed his surprise at not being called to perform at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics on Friday, July 26.

“If you have the answer you will give it to me. Because I didn’t understand at all. Globally, I am still between the 4^e and the 15th^e most listened to artist in the world, not DJ artist,” said David Guetta, 56, before a giant concert in front of the Château de Chambord on Saturday. “To give you an idea, Beyoncé must be 40^e or 50^e. But no one called me. And yet I am French and I love France. It’s like that ! “, he added.

A ceremony with a well-kept secret

Only about ten people know the exact scenario of the show of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, which will last 3 hours and 45 minutes and start at 7:30 p.m. and intends to “break the codes” by taking place for the first time outside a stadium, according to the Games Organizing Committee. The soundtrack of the ceremony includes the creations of musical director Victor Le Masne, mixing pop, symphony orchestra, choirs and electro loops typical of the French touch.

It will also draw on “other registers”, according to its designer Thomas Jolly, who reveals nothing but for whom “France is at the same time Jul, Édith Piaf and Nathalie Dessay”.
