DJ Samantha Ronson and Flau-jae Johnson are set to perform at a starry event compèred by Axios and Deep Blue Sports and Entertainment during the 2024 Cannes Lions Festival, Page Six can exclusively reveal.
“Built This Way” singer Ronson, 46, and LSU basketball-turned-rapper Johnson, 20, will light up the official afterparty for iHeartMedia and MediaLink’s famed VIP dinner at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes on Tuesday night.
Page Six previously broke the news that Lenny Kravitz will perform for guests during the intimate meal, which will convene senior executives from brands, agencies, media and entertainment companies, technology corporations and financial firms.
We’re told that the ensuing event with Ronson and Johnson will be celebrating the launch of the Women’s Sports Audio Network, created by iHeart and Deep Blue Sports and Entertainment.
The South of France soiree will take place at the Women’s Sports House villa, where Axios and Deep Blue Sports and Entertainment are hosting an impressive roster of celebrities, athletes and media execs.
Their programming includes notable speakers such as soccer star Ashlyn Harris and actress Sophia Bush — who are currently dating — as well as WNBA vet Sue Bird, DJ Bobby Bones, England goalkeeper Mary Earps, broadcaster Cari Champion, SportsCenter anchor Elle Duncan and the world’s decorated alpine skier, Mikaela Shiffrin, among many others.
Execs from the New York Times, Yahoo and Time Inc. are also participating.
The Women’s Sports House — which will also feature the first pop-up of The Sports Bra, touted as the world’s first women’s sports bar — is expected to welcome a surprise celebrity guest on Wednesday, too.
Other famous faces expected to roar though this year’s Cannes Lions fest include Queen Latifah, Yara Shahidi, Elon Musk, Jay Shetty, Andie MacDowell, Kenan Thompson, Hollywood power couple John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, as well as NFL brother duo Jason and Travis Kelce.
