The biggest bass music festival in Texas returns as SHAQUILLE O’NEAL’S SHAQ’s Bass All-Stars Festival celebrates its third year at Panther Island Pavilion on March 21st 2026. After bringing together over 30,000 fans across 2023 and 2024, the festival raises the stakes once again with a brand-new lineup, expanded production, including the return of ‘The Trenches’ 360° second stage designed to pull fans directly into the heart of the pit — plus a few surprises only Shaq could deliver.
Shaq’s Bass All Stars Festival returns to Dallas Fort Worth in 2026 for its biggest edition yet. Now in its third year, the festival has grown into a cornerstone celebration for the bass music community in Texas and beyond. Produced in collaboration with Medium Rare and Disco Donnie Presents, the experience continues to blend heavyweight music programming with local Texas flavor — from food and beverage partners to interactive brand activations, immersive art installations, a ferris wheel and custom merchandise drops. Fans can expect a fully upgraded production environment, including extended staging, enhanced visual effects, and expanded space for this year’s crowd.
SHAQ personally curated this year’s lineup, bringing together a stacked roster of heavy-hitters and rising talents who push the bass culture forward:
For DJ DIESEL, this festival represents the continued evolution of his presence within bass music, a culture he champions for its energy, expression, and community. After the release of his debut electronic album GORILLA WARFARE, which received praise from Rolling Stone and Variety and sparked a viral moment on Bobbi Althoff’s Really Good Podcast, Shaq doubled down on elevating bass music at every level. Shaq’s Bass All Stars Festival stands as a celebration of that mission, providing a platform for both established leaders and the next wave of innovators shaping the sound.
Everything’s bigger in Texas — so this year we are making SHAQ’s Bass All Stars our biggest festival yet. The production is bigger, the lineup is bigger, and the entire festival experience will be on another level. We level up every year — and this one’s going to shake the ground – DJ DIESEL aka Shaquille O’Neal
