Lenny Kravitz to rock the UEFA Champions League final kick off show presented by Pepsi

Pepsi® and UEFA are excited to announce that legendary rock musician Lenny Kravitz will headline the UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi on June 1st at Wembley Stadium in London.

This is the eighth year that Pepsi and UEFA will mark the final with its eagerly anticipated curtain raiser, and the event is set to be an unforgettable experience just minutes ahead of the biggest final in the club football calendar.

The Grammy-award-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 crafting his highly anticipated upcoming album, Blue Electric Light, which is already generating buzz among fans and critics alike ahead of its launch on 24th May, just one week before the UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi.

To further build hype for the highly anticipated performance, Pepsi will be releasing an energetic short film titled ‘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 slowly walks down a tunnel, paintbrush in hand, covering the walls in Pepsi Blue, before walking out onto the hallowed turf of Wembley Stadium. We see the rockstar strut past the majestic UEFA Champions League trophy, before stepping out onto the hallowed turf of the stadium, when the camera suddenly pans out to reveal a blue, painted mural of his face covering the pitch and a pulsating stadium, preparing London for the ultimate show.

Kravitz commented: “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.”
