Pain and Zedd will headline the event on Friday, February 16. Country stars Keith Urban and Walker Hayes will perform on Saturday, February 17. Lil Wayne will close out the series on Sunday, February 18, which will occur hours before the 73rd NBA All-Star Game begins. The concert series at the Indiana Convention Center will serve as the pregame for the main events.

Before the All-Star Game, Weezy and WNBA M.V.P. A'ja Wilson will also serve as the assistant coaches for Stephen A. Smith's team during the Ruffles All-Star Celebrity Game on Friday. They will face Shannon Sharpe's team, who has 50 Cent and Peyton Manning on staff as the assistant coach.

The Celebrity Game precedes the HBCU Classic presented by AT&T where Grammy award-winner Coco Jones will perform the U.S. National Anthem and “Lift Every Voice & Sing." It also comes ahead of State Farm All-Star Saturday Night, which will feature events like the Kia Skills Challenge, the Starry 3-Point Contest, Stephen vs. Sabrina 3-Point Challenge and the AT&T Slam Dunk contest.
