Pepsi® and UEFA are delighted to announce that legendary rock musician Lenny Kravitz will be the headline act at the UEFA Champions League Final Opening Show presented by Pepsi on June 1 at Wembley Stadium in London. This is the eighth year that Pepsi and UEFA will mark the final with the eagerly awaited opener, and the event promises to be an unforgettable experience minutes before the biggest final in the club soccer calendar.
The Grammy-winning artist, known for his dynamic stage presence and iconic hits, has been captivating audiences for decades with his genre-defying sound and magnetic stage presence. Kravitz, who recently received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, has been hard at work on his highly anticipated next album, Blue Electric Light, which is already generating anticipation among fans and critics ahead of its release on May 24, just one week before the UEFA Champions League Final Opening Show presented by Pepsi.
To further build anticipation for the highly anticipated performance, later today Pepsi will release an energetic short film entitled ?Wembley Is Blue | Lenny Kravitz x UCL Final Kick Off Show by Pepsi'. In the film, we hear the unmistakable echoes of the UEFA Champions League anthem being whistled as Lenny Kravitz walks slowly through a tunnel, paintbrush in hand, covering the walls in Pepsi Blue... before stepping out onto the hallowed turf of Wembley Stadium. We see the rock star walk past the majestic UEFA Champions League trophy, before stepping onto the stadium pitch, when the camera suddenly pulls away to reveal a blue mural of his face covering the pitch and a pulsating stadium, preparing London for the ultimate show.
I’m really looking forward to my performance for the UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi in London, a city which holds a special place in my heart. It’s going to be such an exciting event ahead of a final that means so much to so many. We can’t wait to show you all what we have in store.
Once again, Pepsi and UEFA will mark the UEFA Champions League Final with a landmark musical performance, bringing together the world's most iconic artists and uniting soccer and music fans in an immersive entertainment spectacle. The UEFA Champions League Final Opening Show presented by Pepsi will be broadcast in more than 200 countries and territories globally, minutes before the highlight of the club soccer calendar and is the embodiment of the global platform ?Thirsty For More ? from Pepsi.
Fans can tune in to watch the Opening Show via their local channels and the official UEFA channel on YouTube. Fans are encouraged to stay up to date by following Pepsi on Instagram, X Twitter), and Facebook.
