Shaquille O'Neal, the NBA legend better known in the DJ world as DJ DIESEL, surprised the crowd at Tomorrowland 2024 with a history-making performance alongside his son, Myles O'Neal. Just moments before taking the stage at the festival's intimate Rave Cave, Myles announced the unexpected collaboration in an interview with Tomorrowland's One World Radio.
"We've got some special news," Myles declared to host AdamK. "We're debuting our duo, father-son duo!" He further emphasized the unique nature of the performance, stating, "We're making history."
This surprise debut marks a new chapter for DJ DIESEL, who's been a fixture on the electronic music scene for years. His debut album, 'GORILLA WARFARE,' released last summer on Monstercat, solidified his presence in the DJ world. Now, teaming up with his son, Myles (who DJs under his own name), brings a fresh dynamic to the scene.
The Rave Cave, known for its smaller size and unique location under a bridge's arch, became the unlikely launching pad for the O'Neal Boyz. Adding to the playful surprise, Myles even hinted that the venue might be unfamiliar territory for his towering 7'1" father. For Shaq, this may have been uncharted territory – venues have had to make adjustments for his impressive stature before, with a venue in Atlantic City famously rebuilding their booth in 2018 to accommodate him.
This unexpected performance by the O'Neal Boyz adds another layer of excitement to Tomorrowland's 20th-anniversary celebration.
