The Real Madrid star also joined the excited crowd for the music festival night. Courtois snapped a picture with DJ Diesel. The official Instagram page of the NBA shared the picture and captioned it, “2️⃣ of the greatest shot blockers!”
Apart from this picture, another highlight was the special collaboration. Both O’Neal and his son, Myles O’Neal, have teamed up before. While they share a common passion for music, they have chosen different categories within the genre. Despite this, the father and son duo often comes together to dazzle the crowd.

O’Neal recently launched his first EDM album, ‘Gorilla Warfare.’ EDM is also quite new for Myles. However, both appeared excited and certainly had something more interesting up their sleeves. Sharing a clip on social media, Myles wrote, “We’ve got some special news. We’re debuting our duo, father-son duo, first father-son duo in the space, O’Neal Boyz.”

Amidst all this, the Belgian veteran footballer couldn’t have missed out on his opportunity to take a picture with the NBA legend.
Thibaut Courtois’ love for basketball and Tomorrowland Music Festival
The former Chelsea goalkeeper is a huge fan of basketball. During the lockdown, he spent his days hooping. Courtois’ fans often see him having fun playing the NBA2K.
“When I started watching basketball, you had Shaq O’Neal and Kobe Bryant at the Lakers. Then you had LeBron James. I also liked Dirk Nowitzki, who was dominating the game. As a European, it is always special to see that,” Courtois once said. He even makes one mandatory U.S. trip every year for the NBA.
Coming back to Tomorrowland, in a clip shared on Courtois’ Instagram Story, he was giving his signed jersey to another artist of the show, Steve Aoki, and in return, received the artist’s TML jacket. Steve Aoki also shared the reel on his Instagram Stories.
Around 400,000 people from over 200 countries were present at the concert. The Los Angeles Lakers legend and his son teamed up for an incredible night with an enthusiastic crowd in Tomorrowland, which will span over two weekends.
