Nickelodeon SlimeFest has seen success around the globe as a slime-filled, multi-platform music and entertainment event since its overseas inception in 2012 in Australia. The U.S. music festival marks the sixth local adaptation of this popular event and the first time a Nickelodeon International event has been localized for Nick in the U.S. To date, over 100,000 people have attended Nickelodeon SlimeFest events around the world, including sold-out shows in South Africa, Australia, Italy, UK and Spain. This year’s Nickelodeon SlimeFest UK will take place at The Arena at Blackpool Pleasure Beach Oct. 20-22, with more international event dates to be announced later this year. On June 9 & 10, 2018, Nickelodeon SlimeFest makes its debut in the United States as a two-day family friendly music festival in Chicago.[1]
