CORTIS to Star in Highly Anticipated Worldwide Concert
CORTIS is set to make history as the first K-pop artist to headline a major NBA music event.
Big Hit Music announced on December 18 that CORTIS will perform as the headliner for the “NBA Crossover Concert Series” at the Los Angeles Convention Center on February 12, 2026.
This concert is part of the NBA All-Star Weekend, blending sports, culture, music, and fashion. CORTIS will open the four-day festival from February 12 to 15.
Joining CORTIS on the headliner list are hip-hop heavyweight Ludacris, a three-time Grammy winner with five Billboard Hot 100 number-one hits, and Shaboozey, who held last year’s longest-running number-one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
Impressively, CORTIS landed this gig just four months after debut. Their global reach is already clear.
The NBA described CORTIS as
“a boundary-defying, original artist,”
adding,
“With their unconventional artistry and worldwide influence, they embody the innovative spirit of both the NBA Crossover and the All-Star event.”
Their debut album, COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES, hit number 15 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and topped 100 million cumulative streams on Spotify within a month — building strong hype for their live show.
