302 - THE SENTŌ — FROM PIXELS TO PRESTIGE

OCTOBER 25, 2026 · SAN FRANCISCO, CA

Before Monday's WNBA Finals Game 5, the Golden State Valkyries are already setting the soundtrack. Oakland's En Vogue is scheduled for the halftime show at Chase Center on October 26, 2026, when Golden State faces the Atlanta Dream.

The group is synonymous with a defining era of R&B, but its Bay Area roots make this booking feel especially local. The Valkyries' postseason spotlight has become a platform not only for basketball, but also for regional music and creative identity.

Dinah Jane is expected to perform the national anthem. With the performance still ahead, this is an event preview—not a recap or confirmation of what took place onstage.

KOLAK perspective: Oakland sound. Golden State stage. One regional story moving through generations.
