Nickelodeon Australia Announces SLIMEFEST 2013!

Nickelodeon Australia has announced and revealed the exciting and aweslime Nickelodeon news that the BIGGEST kid-powered, star filled family slimefest of the year is back for SLIMEFEST 2013, and this year it's going to be bigger, better and SLIMIER than ever before!!


This year, on Friday 27th September 2013, Nickelodeon Australia will be taking over the Sydney Olympic Park Sports Centre to hold the kids channels' second annual "SLIMEFEST" concert, Australia's first music festival just for kids, tweens and teenagers!

Nickelodeon Oz's "SLIMEFEST" event will combine all the best bits from the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards with Australian celebrities (to be announced) and much much more, and of course, lots and lots of Nickelodeon's world famous SLIME, to rock the roof of the Sydney Olympic Park Sports Centre!

This year the SLIMEFEST experience will be maxed to the limit! A whole new outdoor carnival experience will be there for visitors and attendees to enjoy before and after the show, which will be located inside the entry area. There will be games, rides, food, drinks and merchandise available to purchase and participate in along with some great interactive sponsorship things to see and do! Entry to the SLIMEFEST interactive area will be free and is open to the general public (rides, merchandise, food and drinks additional costs will apply and are not free). Lucky visitors will be able to join in all the fun and games at SLIMEFEST! (Please note you must purchase a ticket to enter the SLIMEFEST show.)

To celebrate the return of SLIMEFEST, Nickelodeon wants YOU to be first in line for tickets, so Nick's bringing you a special Ticketek pre-sale event! Nickelodeon Australia viewers and slime fans will be able to apply for pre-sale tickets to attend Nickelodeon Australia's "SLIMEFEST" from ticketing website 'Ticketek' by by logging on to and visiting the official 'Ticketek' website, www.ticketek.com and entering the special pre-sale code 'Nick' from Monday 17th June 2013!

As SLIMEFEST is an awesome concert format (it's not an awards show like Kids' Choice Awards), there won't be an orange carpet. But attendees will have a blast seeing all the awesome acts on stage and there will be heaps of great new surprises in the show too!

PLUS, everyone who attends SLIMEFEST 2013 will have the chance to be on Nickelodeon, as, like SLIMEFEST 2012, Nickelodeon Australia's production crew will have cameras at the event to shoot and film all the exciting action during the show times, which will then go to air on Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand for viewers at home (check out your local guides for confirmed dates and times)!

SLIMEFEST 2013 is brought to you by Sea World Gold Coast Australia, and Bratz.

You can relieve all the exciting aweslime action of Nickelodeon's SLIMEFEST 2012 here on NickALive!, plus watch the SLIMEFEST 2012 World Record in action here on Nickelodeon Australia's official SLIMEFEST 2013 website, nickelodeon.com.au!
