CALGARY (660 NEWS) – The Chasing Summer Festival planned to be held over the August long weekend in Calgary has announced their biggest act yet – literally!

Hitting the stage almost as hard as he hit the back of the rim during free throws, legendary NBA big man Shaquille O’Neal, Superman himself, is set to perform as DJ Diesel.

The 7’1 backboard-breaker will be among the headliners for the Saturday performance at the electronic dance festival.

Pre-sale tickets for the festival at the Max Bell Centre are now on sale on the festival’s website.
