Alison Wonderland more than met her match in Shaquille O’Neal, the DJ and retired basketball great who recently spent some time with the Australian EDM star.
Wonderland and Shaq, with his Bass Allstars, were in the house and on the stage Saturday, August 16th for the Aftershock event in Chandler, AZ.

Away from the decks, the 7’1” former NBA MVP and four-times champion posed with Wonderland, who is two-feet shorter, and effortlessly lifted her for the cameras.
“Dj who plays basketball, DJ with basketball in her belly = dj holding other djs belly like a basketball. It’s simple math,” Wonderland wrote on her socials.
It’s shaping as a particularly special year for Wonderland. That belly like a basketball that she speaks of is Wonderland’s second child. She’s also readying the release of Ghost World, her fourth solo studio album, due out October 3rd.
“Not only are you getting a new album, you’re getting a new sibling,” she writes in an earlier post. “Being able to create in so many ways is my ultimate happiness.”
Wonderland is a superstar in her field. In 2018, she made history as the highest-billed female DJ in Coachella history, and cites among her career highlights her seven sold-out shows at Red Rocks Amphitheater. She has also headlined Lollapalooza’s Perry’s Stage, and performed at Tomorrowland, Electric Daisy Carnival, Ultra, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, and Life Is Beautiful. Her second album, from 2018, Awake, cracked the Billboard 200 at No. 88.
Career streams top 1.1 billion, and Wonderland has shifted more than 800,000 headline ticket sales across her U.S. tours alone.
The new collection was co-written and co-produced by Alison and Dylan Ragland (Party Favor, SIDEPIECE) and mastered by Dale Becker (Billie Eilish, SZA, Omar Apollo, Doja Cat), and houses the previously-released singles “Get Started,” “Again? Fuck.”, and “iwannaliveinadream.”
