Former NBA player Shaquille O'Neal, now known as DJ Diesel, will perform at FITZ Marbella on July 8. Tickets are limited and main tables are around 1,000 euros.

FITZ Marbella has confirmed the performance of Shaquille O'Neal, the legendary NBA centre, who will take to the decks under his alias DJ Diesel on July 8. The event, described by the venue as "one of the great nights of summer," promises to gather hundreds of attendees on the Costa del Sol.

Shaquille O'Neal, a four-time NBA champion and Olympic gold medalist, has established himself as one of the most recognised DJs worldwide. His son Myles, 28, also a musician, will open the night with his own set.

From the court to the booth: Shaq's second life

O'Neal's foray into music is not just a celebrity whim. His love for rhythm dates back to the 80s, and in the 90s, he released several commercially successful rap albums. Now, under the name DJ Diesel, he has earned the respect of both the audience and the industry with powerful sets of dubstep, trap, and heavy bass.

His imposing stage presence — it’s hard to go unnoticed when you stand 2.16 meters tall — and his genuine passion for electronic music have led him to perform at the world's biggest festivals, such as Tomorrowland and Lollapalooza. In Marbella, attendees can expect a mix of bass, techno, and touches of hip-hop.

Limited tickets and exclusive prices

FITZ, located on Marbella's golden mile, has put a limited number of tickets on sale. According to sources from the venue, main tables reach 1,000 euros, making the night an exclusive event for lovers of electronic music and luxury.

For the residents of Marbella and the Costa del Sol, this performance represents a unique opportunity to see a sports legend transformed into a music star live. The event is on July 8, during the peak season, so high demand is expected.

Shaquille O'Neal has already expressed his excitement on social media with a message: "How I feel about summer," accompanied by a link to his music. Undoubtedly, the Marbella summer is gearing up for a night of booming bass.
