If the Super Bowl itself wasn’t exciting enough, the Big Diesel just added rocket fuel to the fire. Shaquille O’Neal is rolling back into the San Francisco Bay Area this February — not to dunk on anyone (well, maybe spiritually) — but to host the eighth annual Shaq’s Fun House, his over-the-top, all-inclusive, carnival-meets-concert extravaganza.
And this year? It’s happening at one of the most iconic venues on the West Coast: the Cow Palace in Daly City on Feb. 6, just two days before the Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium. The Big Fella is taking over the Bay, and he’s bringing half the entertainment industry with him.
A Pre-Super Bowl Party For the People
Shaq says it best:
“From day one, I wanted Shaq’s Fun House to be the party for the people. A lot of Big Game events feel like VIP-only situations. At my party, you buy a ticket and your night is taken care of.”
And that’s the truth. Shaq’s Fun House isn’t some velvet-rope, exclusive-entry situation — it’s an open-bar, ride-the-carnival-rides, dance-until-your-feet-hurt blowout. Your ticket gets you everything: the food, the performances, the carnival games, the attractions, the drinks, and the wild unpredictability that seems to follow Shaq everywhere he goes.
This year’s lineup is stacked:
-
T-Pain, the Auto-Tune legend with enough hits to run a three-hour show by himself
-
Tiësto, one of the most influential DJs on the planet
-
Disco Lines, spinning his viral “Baby Girl” anthem
-
And of course, DJ Diesel — Shaq’s bass-thumping, stage-shaking alter ego
A History of Star-Powered Madness
Shaq’s Fun House has become one of the NBA legend’s signature events — part concert, part circus, part celebrity magnet. Past Fun House parties have featured a who’s-who of athletes, musicians, comedians, creators, and general VIP chaos-makers, including:
Adam Levine, Jack Harlow, Jamie Foxx, Rob Gronkowski, Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Michael Phelps, Floyd Mayweather, Alix Earle, Tiffany Haddish, Chad Johnson, Guy Fieri, and plenty more.
In other words: if you see someone famous at the Super Bowl, odds are they’re also at Shaq’s Fun House.
