For DJ DIESEL, this festival represents the continued evolution of his presence within bass music — a culture he champions for its energy, expression, and community. After the release of his debut electronic album GORILLA WARFARE, which received praise from Rolling Stone and Variety and sparked a viral moment on Bobbi Althoff’s Really Good Podcast, Shaq doubled down on elevating bass music at every level. Shaq’s Bass All Stars Festival stands as a celebration of that mission, providing a platform for both established leaders and the next wave of innovators shaping the sound.

On Saturday, March 21, 2026, Panther Island Pavilion will once again be transformed into the ultimate destination for bass lovers. With two massive stages, including a newly upgraded 360º second stage, this year’s event promises an electrifying, high-impact experience that delivers nonstop energy from start to finish. Fans can expect heavy drops, big moments, and a festival atmosphere that resonates long after the final set.

Quote from DJ DIESEL aka Shaquille O’Neal
“Everything’s bigger in Texas — so this year we are making SHAQ’s Bass All Stars our biggest festival yet. The production is bigger, the lineup is bigger, and the entire festival experience will be on another level. We level up every year — and this one’s going to shake the ground.”

About DJ DIESEL (SHAQ): Globally recognized as “The World’s Biggest DJ,” the Hall of Famer first discovered dance music after crashing TomorrowWorld festival in 2014, and that event changed his life forever after being exposed to DJs such as Tiesto, Steve Aoki, and Skrillex. Shaquille has been passionate about music from a very young age – at just 14 after O’Neal saw Public Enemy live for the first time, sandwiched in a crowd of 5,000 people, he became fixated on DJ’ing. He cut his neighbors’ grass, walked dogs, and scraped together any cash that he could until he saved up $200 to buy his first set of turntables at a local pawn shop. Fast forward to today, Medium Rare has booked DIESEL across global festivals such as Tomorrowland and Lollapalooza, secured his residency at The Wynn in Las Vegas, and launched his personal festival – Shaq’s Fun House.

Before his foray into electronic music, Shaquille O’Neal, a.k.a. DIESEL, had already marked his territory in the music world. His musical journey began in the early ’90s when he dropped his platinum-certified debut album, ‘Shaq Diesel’, which boasted chart-topping hits such as “What’s Up Doc? (Can We Rock)” and “(I Know I Got) Skillz”. This was followed by the gold-acclaimed ‘Shaq Fu: Da Return’ and later by ‘You Can’t Stop the Reign’ and ‘Respect’, each painting a portrait of his versatile musical identity. While the trajectory of his music career has seen shifts and evolutions, one thing remains constant: DIESEL’s unyielding passion for rhythm and rhyme.
