Nickelodeon Australia Announces SLIMEFEST 2014 Venues; Tickets Now On Pre-sale

Nickelodeon Australia has announced and revealed more aweslime details and news about the BIGGEST kid-powered, star filled family slimefest of the year, Nickelodeon SLIMEFEST 2014, which this year is going to be bigger, better and SLIMIER than ever before and feature the most slime of all time!


This year, Nickelodeon is going to double the music, the stars and the tonnes, and tonnes AND TONNES of Nickelodeon's world famous slime, because this year, Nickelodeon Australia will be bringing SLIMEFEST to Melbourne and Sydney to hold TWO SLIMEFEST concerts, Australia's first music festival just for kids, tweens and teenagers! The Nickelodeon SLIMEFEST 2014 ticket pre-sale is now on! Simply visit Ticketmaster Australia and enter codeword: NICK to buy your tickets today!

To make sure that their third annual SLIMEFEST event is the biggest, bestest and and slimiest SLIMEFEST ever to give attendees the slime of their life, Nick AU will take over the Sydney Olympic Park Sports Centre in Sydney (SYD), New South Wales (NSW) on Friday 26th September 2014, then will be taking all the slimy action on the road to Melbourne (MEL) to hold a SLIMEFEST concert at the State Netball Hockey Centre in Parkville, Victoria (VIC)! Each concert will feature two SLIMEFEST shows, a morning show at 11:00am and a evening show at 6:00pm.


The format of the show and the advertised performers are the same for both the morning and the evening performances of SLIMEFEST. However, there may be some unannounced special guests who are only able to attend either the morning or evening performance. But whichever show you go to, you are guaranteed it will still be the slime of your life!

This year, the SLIMEFEST experience will be maxed to the limit! Not only will slime fans see an awesome show, but there will be an outdoor carnival experience for NickHeads to enjoy before and after the show. This will be located inside the entry area, before the entrance to the venue. The outdoor carnival will feature games, rides, food, drinks and SlimeFest merchandise available to purchase and participate in, along with some great interactive activities to see and do. Entry to the SLIMEFEST interactive area is free and is open to the general public. Costs for rides, merchandise, food and drinks will apply.

Nickelodeon Australia's production crew will have cameras and will be shooting during both the 11.00am and 6.00pm shows and the best bits will go to air on Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand for viewers at home on Monday 29th September 2014. Remember to tune in to see all your favourite parts of the show!


Nickelodeon is offering 3 types of tickets for NickHeads to purchase to attend SLIMEFEST 2014:

Premium Mosh Area: This is a KIDS-ONLY SLIME ZONE (children aged between the ages of 8-15 only). Grown-ups will not be allowed access into this area and for safety reasons kids MUST be over 140cm high to be granted entrance into the Mosh. According to Nickelodeon's slime-inator forecaster, SLIMEFEST attendees in the Premium Mosh Area can expect a high expectancy of slime.

Standing Floor: This area is available for kids and grown-ups and is recommended for kids aged between 8 -15 years of age and a minimum height of 140cm. For grown-ups, if you have purchased a ticket to the Standing Floor area there will be an area allocated for you at the back to stand in. This is a slime zone, however not everyone will be slimed especially towards the outer edges. Grown-ups - if you are in the seated area in the back there is low expectancy of a slime covering. Adults are requested to stand near the back of the venue to give younger NickHeads the best access.

Seated Area: These tickets are suitable for all kids (no matter what your height!) and grown-ups. Patrons who hold seated tickets will queue and enter the venue separately to those holding standing tickets. This area is a slime-free zone (slime and safety regulations). Please do be aware though that regardless of seating allocation all attendees may receive incidental
brushes with slime as Nickelodeon will be releasing thousands of litres of the green goo and cannot guarantee where it may land!

It gets pretty messy in the Mosh and Standing Area so it's a good idea to bring a change of clothes and a spare towel for the trip home. If you are thinking about wearing your best white shirt or fave clothes, then think again! It's best to wear your not-so-fave clothes just in case you get super slimey!


This year for the first time ever NickHeads can have a once in a lifetime experience with their favourite celebrity by purchasing a meet and greet ticket at www.ticketmaster.com.au. Included with their meet and greet, NickHeads will be able to go backstage and get up close and personal with their favourite big time celebrities. They will sign your favourite piece of merchandise and jump in a photo with you. Don't forget to bring your camera!

NickHeads can also pre-purchase official Nickelodeon SLIMEFEST 2014 merchandise, including a special edition Slimefest t-shirt, souvenir lanyard and silicone wristband, from the events listing on Ticketmaster AU! Merchandise Packs will be posted out directly to your home within 30 days of being purchased, so you can be dressed in the coolest SLIMEFEST gear before you arrive on the day! NickHeads can also purchase exclusive SLIMEFEST 2014 products on the day of each event!

Nickelodeon Australia will be announcing more big SLIMEFEST 2014, including who will be performing at this years SLIMEFEST events, in the coming weeks.

SLIMEFEST 2014 is brought to you by Streets Paddle Pop.

Nickelodeon Portugal To Premiere Brand-New Episodes Of "Rabbids Invasion" From Monday 7th July 2014

Nickelodeon Portugal has announced in the following article from the 'Noticias'/'News' section of their official website, nickelodeon.pt, the Bwaah-some Nickelodeon Europe News that the Portuguese version of the world's number one kids' channel will start to premiere and show more brand-new episodes of Nickelodeon and Ubisoft's popular CG-animated series "Rabbids Invasion", locally titled "Rabbids: Invasão", including the all-new episodes "Raving Alien", "Rabbid Like Me", "Rabbid Mozart", "Rabbid Parasol", and "Rabbid's Rules of Order", all week from Monday 7th to Friday 11th July 2014 at 6:25pm (18:25)! Bwaaaaaah!!!:
Chegaram os novos episódios de Rabbids: Invasão!


Os Rabbids já chegaram à Terra e têm muita vontade de explorá-la! Têm olhos pequenos, orelhas grandes e tendem a ser muito irrequietos e a mexer em tudo. Não há nada que lhes escape! Se alguma coisa lhes chama à atenção, vão explorá-la até saberem tudo sobre ela. Os Rabbids são divertidos, muito enérgicos e têm uns cérebros de passarinho. Estes coelhos extraterrestres acabaram de chegar e estão loucos com a ideia de conhecer o planeta e os seus habitantes.

Desta feita, um alien chega à Terra com a intenção de conhecer os seus habitantes e de se encontrar com os Rabbids. Mas não é o único que está curioso com eles. Vamos também conhecer um cientista que decide disfarçar-se de Rabbid para conseguir obter mais informação sobre estes seres.

Parece que a confusão está por todo o lado nestes novos episódios, já que um Rabbid vai sofrer de barafunda aguda ao ser atingido na cabeça. Não seria nada de anormal se, ao recuperar, este não achasse que se tornou... Pianista!

E para rematar, o que começou por ser um dia passado a protegerem-se do vento na praia, acaba por se tornar num grande dia na vida dos Rabbids (que já de si não tem nada de aborrecido), quando descobrem que podem voar com um guarda-sol! Os pobres banhistas que ficaram na praia não sabem o que os espera… Sobretudo, porque os coelhos mais loucos do Nickelodeon estão a prontos para "ajudar" o nadador-salvador da praia.

Não percas os novos episódios de Rabbids: Invasão a partir de dia 7 de julho, de segunda a sexta, às 18:25! Bwaaaaaah!!!
