JoJo Siwa and Diversity back for Slimefest 2018

Hit Nickelodeon event returns to Blackpool from October 20-22.

Nickelodeon star JoJo Siwa and Diversity will be returning to the company’s Slimefest event in Blackpool later this year.

Held in partnership with VisitBlackpool from October 20-22 at The Arena, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Slimefest is a slime-filled music show which attracted over 12,000 people to six sold out shows last year.

2017 also saw JoJo make her UK performance debut, while Diversity showcased some of their gravity-defying dance routines.

They will again be joined by hosts Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely, with the additional line-up being announced in the run-up to this year’s six performances.

JoJo commented: “I’m so excited to be coming back to Blackpool for another year at Slimefest. I love my UK fans so much and seeing everyone in the slime pit is going to be so much fun.”

Jordan and Perri (pictured) added: “Another year of slime! We can’t wait to host Slimefest in Blackpool again. Last year was incredible and we’re all looking forward to performing for you too… the energy is always amazing.”

Amanda Thompson OBE, md of Blackpool Pleasure Beach, continued: “Following on from the huge success of last year’s Slimefest, we are truly excited to see the event returning to Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

“As Blackpool Pleasure Beach is home to the UK’s only Nickelodeon Land, I can’t think of a better place for Slimefest to take place.”
