Jay-Z, Drake, Justin Bieber & Don Toliver Soundtrack Official 2026 Fanatics Fest Playlist

Fanatics Fest is returning to NYC this weekend, and Audiomack unveiled the official playlist to soundtrack the festivities on Tuesday (July 14).

The 50-track playlist boasts hits like Drake’s “Shabang,” Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind,” Justin Bieber’s “Yukon,” Sabrina Carpenter’s “Bed Chem,” Pop Smoke’s “Dior,” Don Toliver’s “E85” and Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero.”

“At Audiomack, we believe that discovering new artists is one of the most exciting parts of being a music fan. Fanatics Fest brings together sports, music, and entertainment in a way that feels incredibly authentic, so becoming the official streaming partner was a perfect fit. We’re excited to help soundtrack the weekend while introducing fans to the next generation of artists,” said Audiomack’s co-founder and chief marketing officer, David Ponte.

While some of music’s titans carry the playlist, Audiomack also made sure to spotlight emerging acts like Lane Gang Wells, Bashfortheworld and Iman Nunez, whose track “Rotten Apple” features fellow New York natives Niko Brim and Kai Ca$h.

“‘Rotten Apple’ is New York personified. It’s about the grit, resilience, and mentality that defines this city. Having to do whatever it takes to push through obstacles and keep moving forward,” Nunez said in a statement. “That same mindset is what makes great athletes, so having the record featured on this year’s playlist feels like the perfect fit. We’re excited for it to help set the tone.”

Sports and music have been synonymous for decades, and those worlds will clash once again at Fanatics Fest, which takes over the Javits Center in NYC from July 16 through July 19. Adult single-day tickets are still available for $81, while Saturday (July 18) is priced at $93. Kids’ tickets are on sale for $35. There are various family deal packages as well.

The stars will be out at the four-day event, with appearances scheduled for Jay-Z, Serena Williams, Kevin Hart, Aaron Judge, New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Travis Scott and WWE superstar Roman Reigns.
