Shaquille O'Neal to entertain Phillies fans with postgame concert

But Shaquille O’Neal? Let’s be honest, dubstep DJs aren’t typically Hall of Fame athletes, and they’re usually not 7-foot-1 and over 300 pounds. Regardless of how it looks or what other people think, O’Neal relishes the opportunity to perform live onstage.

“It’s like being in a basketball game and having people come and cheer you on and support you,” O’Neal told The Hollywood Reporter. “I just want everybody to have a good time.”

Over the years, fans of EDM (electronic dance music) have had a great time at Citizens Bank Park. In 2013, the first Phillies postgame concert featured Dutch Duo W&W. In 2014, the team hosted German DJ Markus Schulz for another EDM performance that was also covered by MTV.

In 2018, German DJ Zedd held a postgame concert and in 2019 the team welcomed Diplo following a game against the Cubs that featured a game-winning, ninth-inning grand slam by Bryce Harper.

After 20 years in the NBA and four championships, O’Neal doesn’t need to spend his nights working as a DJ. But he obviously enjoys it, just like Philly fans enjoy the post-game concerts. Temperatures for the event should be in the 70s and with thousands visiting the city for the Fourth of July weekend, the event should be very popular.
