SAN JOSE, Calif. — Shaq is back — back again.

Having just hosted a big Super Bowl party in San Francisco in early February, Shaquille O’Neal returns to the Bay Area to perform during the Music Mania concert series in San Jose.

Shaq — who, in 2023, arguably gave the worst performance in the long and distinguished history of the Outside Lands music festival — will once again be performing under the stage name DJ Diesel.

O’Neal performs on Night 1 (March 27) of this three-day concert series, which is being held in conjunction with the Sweet 16 NCAA college men’s basketball games taking place at SAP Center in San Jose on March 26 and 28.

The other two headliners in the series are pop star Bebe Rexha on March 28 and country star Dustin Lynch on March 29. The complete entertainment lineups are listed below.

The concerts take place at the SoFa Lot at 350 S. First St., San Jose.

Tickets start at $134 for full weekend passes. Individual concert tickets start at $73 (DJ Diesel) and $49 (Rexha, Lynch).
