In this story:

DJ Diesel is back! And he has brought plenty of friends with him as the former Los Angeles Lakers center and four-time NBA champion (three with LA) Shaquille O'Neal has announced the lineup for his upcoming EDM festival, Shaq's Bass All-Stars, per Katie Bain of Billboard. 

The NBA's biggest (and we mean that literally) DJ is set to join the likes of Alison Wonderland, Sullivan King, CRANKDAT and so many more in the Panther Island Festival Pavillion of Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. 

Shaq has a busy summer ahead of this newly announced event. "DJ Diesel" is set to appear in Chicago's Lollapalooza, Michigan's Electric Forest and LA's Hard Summer festivals, plus many more festivals this summer. 

For those that are not aware of EDM music, these festivals can fill up to thousands of concert-goers that party till three in the morning for an entire weekend straight, and if you haven't seen how DJ Diesel gets down, it might make you consider going to one of his shows. 

Shaq's genre of music is mostly known as "Bass", where the most random noises become the most entertaining sounds, leading to a wave of mosh pits and crowd-controlled actions like head-banging and jumping/dancing. 

These kind of songs don't really have any lyrics in them, but Shaq likes to throw in a basketball reference from time to time. In one of his singles, "Moshpit", he pays a homage to himself. 

"When push comes to shove, hack-a-Shaq in the mosh pit!"

Lyrics: "Moshpit" by DJ Diesel

All I'm saying is, if you've never been to any kind of EDM concert or festival, you'll probably reconsider after seeing one of DJ Diesel's sets. With that, I'll probably see some of you guys at HARD Summer.
