Travis Scott is coming to Salt Lake City.
Multi-platinum hip hop artist, Scott has teamed up with Smith Entertainment Group, the parent company of the Utah Jazz, to create an NBA All-Star 2023 event.
Scott’s event production, which will be presented by his pen and brand, Cactus Jack, will give the fans gathered in Salt Lake City a winning experience that goes beyond the basketball court. These integrated programs allow locals and visitors from around the world to experience the power that is All-Star weekend, a beloved international event.
“It’s a dream come true to be able to work with Smith Entertainment Group and the Utah Jazz to create such a great experience on a canvas like Salt Lake City – especially during a time like All-Star weekend,” Scott said. “I love Utah and have been coming here for years to snowboard. Salt Lake City is definitely a place where everyone wants to be.”
For Jazz Owner Ryan Smith, the opportunity to partner with someone as creative and respected as Scott can’t be beat.
“Travis has a unique vision that has made him one of the most popular artists in the world, and we are excited to have him bring his creative energy to Utah,” said Smith. “We couldn’t be more excited to partner with him on this initiative that will help more fans and the community participate in the incredible festivities of All-Star weekend.”
