NBA All-Star Weekend is a celebration of the league’s best and brightest, but it’s grown into much more of a cultural event that goes beyond the hardwood. This year’s edition in San Francisco will be no different, as there will be a number of musical performances at the NBA’s events throughout the weekend.
This year, on top of the annual performances during the All-Star events at Chase Center, the NBA is putting on a three-day concert series at Pier 48 (tickets available here). Here, you can find all of the musical acts performing at NBA All-Star Weekend each day and where you can see them — there are also going to be dozens of brand activations, parties, and concerts throughout the weekend, like Chance the Rapper headlining TNT’s American Express Road Show.
