The event will be a music festival with an “adult carnival” theme, and will be held two days before Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Arizona, according to an ABC-15 news report in Scottsdale. The NBA legend will use his DJ stage name, “DJ Diesel,” while Snoop takes over the stage. 

The Long Beach native also released a joint album with other West Coast legends, Mount Rushmore.

The event is presented by Netspend and held at the Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. DJ Diplo will also be headlining, and the event marks Shaq’s fifth “Shaq’s Fun House,” with him performing as a DJ, as he does for many other events throughout the year. 

Shaq’s Fun House will include pyrotechnics and large graphics during the show.During last year’s Super Bowl in Los Angeles, Snoop Dogg performed along with Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, and Eminem. Their halftime performance increased viewership by 12 percent over the previous halftime show. 

Superstar singer Rihanna shared on her Instagram back in September that she will perform at the Super Bowl LVII halftime show. The 1990s comedy series In Living Color, inspired modern-day halftime shows by highlighting how “boring” they were before Michael Jackson’s famous 1993 halftime performance.
