Those that attended Lost Lands this year received a special treat from NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, also known as DJ Diesel. The 7 foot star rose to the occasion and energized the crowd with a short but intense 30 minute surprise set. From the looks of fan videos online, festival goers were taking double takes if Shaq was actually at the festival! Few guessed Shaq would be the surprise DJ set as most thought it would be Skrillex or Deadmau5. DJ Diesel’s debut yesterday may now go down as the best set of Lost Lands 2018!

DJ Diesel recently announced a ‘Summer of Shaq Tour‘ DJ Tour this past June. Since then, he was made stops in China, Miami, Atlantic City, Washington DC, and Las Vegas. O’Neal started DJing back in the 80s but has stepped it up with public appearances and an official global tour.  We’re impressed how well Shaq has made a name for himself in the DJ world so far and look forward to when his next tour begins!

Take a look at some highlights from Shaq’s surprise appearance at Lost Lands this past weekend!
