Nickelodeon Announces NickFest 2022 Headliners and Highlights

Update (8/12) - The first ever NickFest has sadly been canceled. Nickelodeon‘s first music festival, which was to take place October 22nd and October 23rd will no longer be happening and they’re explaining why.

Dixie D’Amelio, Joshua Bassett, That Girl Lay Lay, Young Dylan, Good NEWZ Girls, Olivia O’Brien, The Kid LAROI and more were all set to take the stage that weekend.

The festival’s reasoning for canceling is due to market conditions. “Although we were very excited to bring the Nickelodeon brand experience to you through a music festival, we made the difficult decision to cancel after giving significant thought to the challenges facing families today,” they shared in a statement.

Nick fans who purchased tickets already need not to worry, as “all current ticket holders will be issued a full refund at their point of purchase.”

They also note that if you have any questions about your refund, to reach out to TIXR.
