INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The infield at Indianapolis Motor Speedway will be jumping on May 28 when DJ Diesel — aka Shaquille O’Neal — joins headliner Kaskade and other electronic music acts at the Indy 500 Snake Pit.

“One of the biggest parties of Race Weekend is the Indy 500 Snake Pit,” IMS President J. Douglas Boles said in a statement Wednesday. “The always unforgettable and epic party in the Snake Pit is a May highlight for many of our fans and an experience like no other.”

General admission and VIP tickets are on sale for $50 and $150 at the IMS website. VIP perks include access to a raised viewing platform next to the stage, a private cash bar, and private air-conditioned restrooms.
