Anime Expo’s forthcoming dance event Neon District will have one of its biggest performers to date.

Shaquille O'Neal (a.k.a. DJ Diesel) will co-headline the event with m-flo’s Taku Takahashi. As a DJ, O’Neal has performed at major events such as Electric Daisy Carnival, Lollapalooza, and Tomorrowland. Earlier this month, O’Neal unveiled the single “Bang Your Head” from their forthcoming studio album.

Alongside the announcement of DJ Diesel, some other changes were made to the lineup. YUC’e, Nor, and TORIENA can no longer perform at Neon District, but they’ll be replaced by AX Lite host Softest Hard, Kotori, and Assertive.

Neon District will take place on Monday, July 3. Tickets for the 18+ event can be purchased here. This event is only for those who have a four-day or one-day badge for Anime Expo.
