The biggest bass music festival in Texas returned in spectacular fashion, and even Jake Paul showed up to celebrate his latest victory. Held at the Panther Island Pavilion, Shaquille O’Neal’s music festival was completely sold out, proving once again that DJ Diesel knows how to throw a party. Now, after electrifying Texas, Shaq is taking his show on the road, ready to bring the excitement to Louisiana just in time for Super Bowl weekend. And this time, it’s going to be bigger and better than ever.

“🎪🏈🏆 Join me, @JohnSummit, and @Ludacris at @ShaqsFunHouse 2025,” the Lakers legend announced on X. “Big Game Weekend NOLA’s most over-the-top event on Friday, Feb 7. All-inclusive tickets from $199 and VIP Tables are on sale this Friday at 10:00 AM CT. Register now for the lowest pricing.”

The event, dubbed “Part Circus, Part Carnival, Part Festival” promises an unforgettable experience. VIP tickets go on sale this Friday, but fans are encouraged to register early to secure the best prices. The initial music lineup includes John Summit, Ludacris, The Big Aristotle himself (Shaq as DJ Diesel), Myles O’Neal, and DJ IRIE. But Shaq’s Fun House is more than just music—it’s an all-encompassing entertainment extravaganza.

But it’s not just music. “Featuring SHAQ’s Carnival Midway, including oversized rides, games, interactive circus performers, attractions, carnival fun foods, and more! Plus enjoy a 6-hour open bar included in every ticket.” The Carnival part is done what about the Circus, “Step Right Up to the Greatest Show on Earth. Join fire-breathers, stilt walkers, jugglers, and more.” The full festival announcement will be done in January 2025.

With a debut in New Orleans, Shaq’s Fun House will have its largest edition yet with 5,000+ fans alongside a full-scale interactive carnival. Yet, it’s not something that will end up filling up the 4x NBA Champion’s pockets.

Shaquille O’Neal is ready to lose money for people’s entertainment

We’ve all heard Shaquille O’Neal’s signature phrase, “Are you not entertained?”—and for the past seven years, Shaq has made sure the answer is a resounding ‘yes!’ His iconic Shaq’s Fun House has become a staple event, combining music, entertainment, and larger-than-life fun. But why did the NBA legend decide to start his festival in the first place?

“Shaq’s Fun House was created because all the corporate parties are guys just standing around. They just look at each other and talk. I wanted something different,” the Lakers legend explained.

When the event was last held in Las Vegas, Shaq also highlighted the importance of affordability for his fans. “I know there’s a lot going on in Vegas, but I guarantee you I’m the only guy dropping prices. You know what? I really care about the people. This has never been about money for me. It’s about doing a good event,” he shared via People.

Over the years, Shaq’s Fun House has attracted an incredible lineup of celebrity guests, including Travis Kelce, Adam Levine, Jamie Foxx, Rob Gronkowski, Migos, Diplo, Patrick Mahomes, Reggie Bush, Akon, Lil Jon, T-Pain, Tim Tebow, Camille Kostek, and many more. Each year, the event grows bigger and more star-studded, delivering unforgettable experiences for fans. So, who will grace the stage and join the festivities this time around?

The anticipation is already building, with confirmed performances by John Summit, Ludacris, and DJ Diesel himself. But knowing Shaq’s penchant for surprises, we can expect plenty more A-list names and unforgettable moments to be revealed soon. One thing is for sure: Shaq’s Fun House 2025 in New Orleans promises to deliver an unparalleled fusion of music, carnival thrills, and star power. Mark your calendars for February 7th—it’s going to be legendary!
