T‑Pain’s Twitch stream opened the rumor mill this week after viewers spotted a screenshot of text messages claiming a back‑to‑back (B2B) billing with Shaq — a.k.a. Diesel — for headline slots at Electric Forest and Lost Lands.
The clip shows a thread where someone texts, “Shaq just called me,” followed by a message that reads, “Confirmed B2B with you to headline electric forest and lost lands.” That screenshot quickly made its way to r/electricforest, where reactions ran the gamut: some fans called it a can’t‑miss surprise booking, others dismissed the idea as too gimmicky for a major headliner slot, and a few noted the awkward timing if the lineup hasn’t been announced yet.
Electric Forest and Lost Lands are two very different festival scenes, so the idea of a celebrity pairing like this is exactly the sort of curveball that would light up social feeds. Take it with a grain of salt for now — neither festival has posted an official lineup update, and neither T‑Pain nor Shaq (to our knowledge) has made a public confirmation tied to the clip.
We’re keeping an eye on official channels. If those texts turn out to be real and the booking is confirmed, it’d be one of the more wildly publicized crossovers in festival booking history — whether you think that’s genius programming or pure novelty. Stay tuned to Extra Chill for any updates and official announcements.
