Shaquille O’Neal’s Shaq’s Fun House Returns to Bay Area for Super Bowl Weekend

Basketball Hall of Famer and DJ Shaquille O’Neal is set to host a vibrant party event known as Shaq’s Fun House during Super Bowl Weekend in the Bay Area. Scheduled for February 6, 2025, this year’s event will take place at the Cow Palace in Daly City and will feature performances by notable artists including T-Pain and Tiësto.

Described as a fusion of circus, carnival, and festival, Shaq’s Fun House has become a much-anticipated highlight of Super Bowl celebrations since its inception. This marks the eighth iteration of the event, which has consistently attracted major stars from the hip-hop and DJ scenes. Tickets for the event will go on sale on December 12, 2024, starting at $249.99, reflecting a significant price increase compared to previous years. For instance, tickets for the Las Vegas edition two years ago began at just $99.

The entertainment lineup is robust, featuring not only T-Pain and Tiësto, but also DJ and producer Disco Lines. While Shaquille O’Neal, performing as DJ DIESEL, has not been officially listed on the bill, he has taken the stage in past editions, adding an element of surprise.

Attendees can expect an array of attractions including circus acts, carnival games, rides, and a variety of cocktail bars. Shaquille O’Neal has promised an open bar experience, stating, “Once you pay your money, everything’s free,” although it appears this may apply to specific sponsored options such as Cutwater canned cocktails and Nutrl canned vodka spritzes.

In addition to Shaq’s Fun House, the evening of February 6 will feature a concert by renowned artist Sting at the nearby Palace of Fine Arts. On the following night, The Killers will also perform at the same venue, while country music star Chris Stapleton is scheduled to play at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, ensuring a lively atmosphere across the Bay Area during this festive weekend.

With its mix of music, entertainment, and carnival excitement, Shaq’s Fun House promises to be a highlight of the Super Bowl festivities, drawing in fans from various backgrounds to celebrate the spirit of the sport in a unique and entertaining way.
