The only thing bigger than Shaquille O’Neal is his resume. From his hall-of-fame career in the NBA to his big screen acting performances (Steel, Kazaam), five studio albums as a rap artist/DJ, to his expanding chicken franchise, philanthropic foundation, and present career as a NBA commentator: Shaq is truly larger-than-life. This November, Shaquille continues to grow with the reprisal of the biggest bass festival in Texas: Shaq’s Bass All-Stars Festival.
O’Neal launched Shaq’s Bass All-Stars last year. According to the festival’s website, Shaq was personally involved in curating its lineup featuring the likes of Alison Wonderland, Kai Wachi, and more. Furthermore, O’Neal also had a hand in stage design, sponsors, venue selection, retail, and food vendors.
“SHAQ’s Bass All Stars Festival is not just another music festival – it’s a reflection of SHAQ’s larger-than-life personality and passion for bass music.”
The inaugural festival drew around 15,000 fans to the Panther Island Pavilion in Fort Worth. This year, the bass festival will return for its second year in Fort Worth with an even larger lineup.
