Shaquille O’Neal is bringing his legendary party, Shaq’s Fun House, to New Orleans for its seventh year, and this one promises to be bigger, louder, and more electrifying than ever. Set for Friday, February 7, 2025, the event blends festival vibes, carnival thrills, and circus spectacles into one unforgettable night of entertainment.
The LSU alum and global icon, also known as DJ Diesel, couldn’t be more thrilled to host his epic celebration in the city that feels like home. “New Orleans is one of the most vibrant cities in the world, and it’s the perfect place to kick off Big Game Weekend,” Shaq said. “As an LSU alumni, Louisiana is like a second home to me. This party won’t be like those boring corporate events—it’s for the fans! We’re bringing the best music, the wildest carnival rides, and that New Orleans energy. I can’t wait to make it the ultimate homecoming celebration.”
