Amazon Music is curating three days of live music for the inaugural NBA Con. The event will take place 7/7-9 at Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay Convention Center. Among those scheduled to hit the summer stage are 2 Chainz, BLXST, Toosii, Eslabon Armado, Armani White and DJ E Rock.
“More than any other sport, basketball has always gone hand in hand with music. From hyping up players before the game to soundtracking highlight reels, music has always been the fuel for athletes’ ambitions,” Amazon Music Director of Artist Product and Services Sean McMullan said. “The inaugural NBA Con will bring fans, artists and athletes together under one roof to celebrate all facets of hoops culture, and Amazon Music has worked hard with the NBA to curate showstopping performances and exclusive merchandise for attendees.”
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ Mike Conley, the Indiana Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton and the New Orleans Pelicans’ CJ McCollum will appear.
"The first NBA Con is all about bringing the league, its players and fans together through shared interests," said NBA SVP of Global Event Strategy and Development Joey Graziano. "Fashion and music are essential to the culture of the league, and we are thrilled to work with Amazon Music to help us bring the best of both to NBA Con.”
Meanwhile, we're still learning how to dribble. Tickets for NBA Con are on sale here.
