Danny Ocean to Perform at 2025 Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony

Danny Ocean will perform at the forthcoming 2025 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, set to take place on Dec. 10 in Oslo, Norway.

News of the Venezuelan singer’s participation comes almost two months after Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado was named the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize recipient. 

“The ceremony will bring them together as representatives of a generation of Venezuelans who promote a message of resilience, unity, and hope,” according to a press statement. 

Machado—who was set to challenge President Nicolás Maduro in the 2024 presidential elections but was disqualified by the government—is receiving the Nobel Peace Prize “for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy,” read the social media announcement posted on Oct. 10. 

Upon Machado being named this year’s recipient, Danny expressed the following on his X account: “Waking up to this news today is historic — not just the fact that María Corina is ours, not just the fact that she is a Venezuelan woman, not just because of her bravery and her struggle… but because of the impact this will have on the future. I know that, like me, many children will have María Corina as their role model, and some of them will sing about the pain and longing of many, while others will continue to defend, fight, and push the horizons of freedom.”

The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony will take place at 1:00 p.m. CET on Dec. 10 at the Oslo City Hall.
