NBA All-Star Game salutes Bay Area music scene with great lineup of talent
Published in Entertainment News
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Organizers are set to salute the rich music scene of the Bay Area during the NBA All-Star Game on Feb. 16 at the Golden State Warriors’ Chase Center in San Francisco.
The most intriguing element to the Bay Area-centric music event will occur when DJ Cassidy leads a really cool Bay Area edition of his popular “Pass the Mic Live!” series, where R&B and hip-hop performers sing along — and then pass the mic to others — on iconic tunes.
This time around, the DJ (who actually hails from New York City) will be passing the mic to such Bay Area greats as E-40, Too $hort, Saweetie and En Vogue.
Also, Oakland’s own Raphael Saadiq will deliver “a special performance to welcome fans to the Bay Area and introduce the 2025 NBA All-Stars” prior to tip-off, according to a NBA All-Star Game news release.
Also, Bay Area rapper LaRussell will take the stage at the 2025 Castrol Rising Stars event on Friday. And Bay Area native H.E.R. is slated to perform during the All-Star Saturday Night events, which include the 3-point and slam dunk contests.
