Your guide to NBA All-Star Weekend concerts, including Jelly Roll, Lil Wayne, T-Pain and more

Although basketball will be at the forefront of NBA All-Star Weekend's upcoming visit to Indianapolis, several big-name musical artists across a variety of genres will perform as part of the festivities.

These concerts do not require tickets for any of the basketball games, so feel free to bop downtown for a concert and nothing else if that's your speed. Here are the artists performing in Indianapolis as part of All-Star Weekend's entertainment slate.

Unless otherwise noted, each concert will take place at Crossover 2024 at the Indiana Convention Center, 100 S. Capitol Ave.

Doors at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 15. Free, but ticketed. Tickets and more info at nbaevents.nba.com/all-star-2024.

Machine Gun Kelly will give a free performance Feb. 15 as part of the NBA on TNT American Express Road Show. The "Inside the NBA" crew, including Shaquille O'Neal, will tape a special live broadcast and host a variety of fan events at the convention center.

O'Neal will perform alongside Kelly as his musical alter-ego, DJ Diesel. He was part of the original lineup for the 2023 Snake Pit at the Indianapolis 500, but was forced to cancel last-minute because of his broadcasting duties.

DJ Zedd, T-Pain

DJ Zedd and rapper, singer-songwriter and producer T-Pain will perform at Crossover on Friday as one of three main concerts hosted by the NBA. T-Pain was a late addition to the show.

T-Pain is coming off of a viral live performance in which he ditched his signature autotuned vocals to belt out covers at the head of a live band.

Keith Urban, Walker Hayes

3 p.m. Feb. 17. Tickets start at $75 through Ticketmaster at bit.ly/41PFN4B.

Country star Keith Urban will take over Crossover on Saturday. Urban will make his second visit to Indianapolis in as many years.
