The 64th NBA All-Star Game will have an impressive musical lineup at the garden this year.

The NBA announced that Christina Aguilera will open the game. The four-time Grammy-Award winning and one-time Latin Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter will be a part of the "Entertainment Series presented by JBL."

Aguilera will perform a "New York-themed" medley with the famous New York City dance troupe, the Rockettes right before tip-off. The All-Star Player introductions will start after her performance.

Aguilera, known for her power vocals, has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide. Some of her most popular songs include "Reflection, " "Genie in a Bottle," and "Beautiful." Aguilera will return to the screen next month as a coach on the eighth season of NBC's "The Voice."

Ariana Grande will perform during the halftime show. Last year, the young singer made history by becoming the first woman to have three songs in the Top 6 of the Billboard's Digital Songs chart at one time. She was the first artist to accomplish this feat since Michael Jackson.

The All-Star Game will take place on Feb 15 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. It will air live at 8 p.m. ET on TNT.
