FAIRPORT, N.Y., Feb. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vinco Ventures (NASDAQ: BBIG) and ZASH Global Media and Entertainment through their Joint Venture, ZVV Media Partners, announced today that Lomotif's digital entertainment network LoMoTV has joined with Shaquille O'Neal to produce his over-the-top Big Game Weekend Party "Shaq's Fun House" which is presented by FTX, and produced by Medium Rare and ABG Entertainment. The festival is scheduled to take place on Friday, February 11, 2022 in Los Angeles and is expected to feature top performances by Lil Wayne, Zedd, Diplo and DJ Diesel, along with appearances from iconic athletes and other talent.

Through its exclusive distribution with Insomniac, a producer of top music festivals and events in the world, LoMoTV plans to live stream "Shaq's Fun House" on YouTube's home page throughout the event.  Lomotif expects to generate a large audience for the event, deploying its blended media, cross-platform distribution strategy to stream on additional platforms including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Twitch.

Powered by Bulldog DM the live stream of "Shaq's Fun House" follows the momentum LoMoTV received from its launch at the 2021 Electronic Daisy Carnival where it featured exclusive backstage content and interviews, as well as an exclusive performance from Lil Nas X and The Kid Laroi. LoMoTV's EDC stream was viewed by hundreds of millions of people.

Fans will be able to live stream "Shaq's Fun House" from the short-form video platform Lomotif on LoMoTV, in addition to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Twitch.

Magnifi U, an immersive, online personal and professional development platform that helps people align with their purpose and nurture their unique superpowers, will join as a sponsor of "Shaq's Fun House." Magnifi U will provide guests information to download the Magnifi U app to develop their own skills.

"We are excited to be doing this again after our successful live stream of EDC which was viewed by hundreds of millions of people," said Ted Farnsworth of ZVV Media Partners.  "We are deploying our blended media, cross-platform distribution strategy to increase our audience by utilizing the streams of other video platforms, raising our own visibility and awareness."

This is the fourth year running that Shaquille O'Neal will host the ultimate Friday night event leading into football's biggest game of the year. Unlike other VIP experiences during Big Game Weekend, Shaq has created a signature event that is open to the public, allowing fans to partake in the fun. "Shaq's Fun House" has attracted the biggest names in sports and entertainment, solidifying itself as a "must-attend" event of Big Game Weekend.
