The upcoming NBA All-Star Weekend in 2026 is set to bring back nostalgic vibes, with NSYNC member Joey Fatone taking center stage. Celebrating his 49th birthday recently, Fatone has been announced as one of the featured performers for the NBA’s Courtside Concert programming during NBA Crossover in Los Angeles. Performing under the banner “Joey Fatone and Friends,” Fatone will be serenading fans with a familiar ‘90s pop sound on the Hardwood Central stage from Feb. 12 to 15.
The announcement of Fatone’s performance was made on the NBA All-Star Instagram account, where each performer was individually highlighted with poster-style slides. Alongside Fatone, the NBA confirmed sets from Two Friends, LiAngelo “Gelo” Ball, and DJ Pauly D.
In the caption, the league teased, “More music coming soon NBA All-Star Weekend in L.A!” while confirming that all artists are set to perform at Hardwood Central at NBA Crossover, with tickets available through NBAEvents.com.
Fatone’s upcoming performance comes at a time when nostalgia around NSYNC remains strong. Rising to global fame as the baritone voice of NSYNC, one of the best-selling boy bands of all time, Fatone has left a lasting impact on the music industry.
The multi-day fan festival at the Los Angeles Convention Center promises a blend of basketball, music, art, and pop culture all in one ticketed experience. According to the league, the event offers fans a front-row seat to live entertainment and basketball programming.
Fatone’s set at Hardwood Central adds to the excitement of the NBA Crossover concert series, which includes headline shows from CORTIS, Ludacris, and Shaboozey throughout the weekend.
Following his recent engagement in Orlando playing “Lance” in the hit musical, Fatone is gearing up for a headline performance at Universal Orlando’s Mardi Gras concert series alongside Backstreet Boys member AJ McLean.
With more performers expected to be announced, Fatone’s upcoming performance at Hardwood Central is already shaping up to be a highlight of the weekend.
