Christina Aguilera will collaborate with The Rockettes to put on a glitzy, glamorous performance before the NBA All-Star Game Feb. 15 at Madison Square Garden. Ariana Grande is already scheduled to be the halftime entertainment. The appearance will come a few days before the Staten Island native is back in her coaching chair for The Voice.
According to a press release, the singer "will take center stage for a New York-themed medley, culminating with introductions of the 2015 NBA All-Stars. During Aguilera's set, the Rockettes will dazzle the crowd with eye-high kicks and precision choreography."
The All-Star Weekend marks the midway point of the NBA season and features a dunk contest, a celebrity game and a three-point shootout. A roster for the celebrity game has yet to be announced.
The starting lineups for the Eastern and Western conferences were recently revealed. LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers) will lead the East with Carmelo Anthony (New York Knicks), Pau Gasol (Chicago Bulls), John Wall (Washington Wizards) and Kyle Lowry (Toronto Raptors).
Blake Griffin (Los Angeles Clippers) will join Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers), Marc Gasol (Memphis Grizzlies), Anthony Davis (New Orleans Pelicans) and Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors) on the West's squad.
Aguilera recently gave birth to her second child, Summer Rain Rutler. She shared a picture of the baby on Instagram earlier this month.
The Voice's eighth season premieres Feb. 23 on NBC.
