Every Celebrity Performing at the 2026 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony

The 2026 Winter Olympics will open on February 6 with ceremonies staged across Milan and at the hilltop ski resort town of Cortina d'Ampezzo, centered on San Siro Stadium. Host country Italy has assembled a lineup of prominent performers for the occasion. Artists set to appear include Andrea Bocelli, Mariah Carey, Laura Pausini, Lang Lang, Cecilia Bartoli, Ghali, Pierfrancesco Favino and Sabrina Impacciatore.

Bocelli said, “I believe that singing at an Olympic Opening Ceremony is a great honour and a deeply moving experience, especially for someone like me who has always loved sport,” adding that he felt “indescribable emotion” when he last performed in 2006. “I don’t think what matters most is the emotion I can leave behind, but rather the emotion that the Olympic Games and sport itself can create,” he continued.
