Sting is set to headline the halftime show at the 2016 NBA All-Star Game in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
His set will reportedly touch on a number of hits. Cirque du Soleil will also perform during player introductions, offering a routine that aims to highlight "the story of a basketball dream."
All-Star Game weekend festivities also include the annual All-Star Celebrity game, which pits Team USA (coached by four-time Celebrity Game MVP and comedian Kevin Hart) against Team Canada (coached by hip-hop star Drake). The latter team includes Arcade Fire's Win Butler. Pop star Ariana Grande headlined the NBA All-Star Game halftime show last year.
The All-Star Game tips at 8:30 p.m. ET on TNT. The game takes place February 14 at the Air Canada Center in Toronto.
