Top DJs & Musicians Join Mafikizolo & Cassper Nyovest for Nickelodeon’s Awesome Weekend of Family Fun, Sun, Slime & Music At uShaka Marine World
Durban, 16 March 2017: Nickelodeon (DStv channel 305) and uShaka Marine World just pumped up the volume on the first Africa edition of SlimeFest, due to take place at Durban’s uShaka Marine World on 8 & 9 April, adding Emtee, K.O, The Kiffness, Twins On Decks and Timo ODV to the concert line-up.
The Kiffness, Twins on Decks, Emtee, Timo ODV and K.O join previously announced artists Cassper Nyovest and Mafikizolo for a spectacular family-friendly jamboree of music, Nickelodeon TV characters, and lots and lots of slime – as uShaka Marine World is transformed into a icky, sticky, squelchy green and orange paradise for all the family to enjoy.
Older kids will delight in a host of games and day-long activities: head for the interactive Slime Zone for an epic Slime Blaster Battle: take a relaxing Slime Shower, slither around on the Zorb Ball Slime Pool; or get to grips with your arch-enemy during a bout of Slime Sumo. For the younger kids, there’ll be singalongs from their favourite Nickelodeon characters including SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora & Friends, Chase & Marshall from Paw Patrol, and those green amphibious heroes, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. A dedicated Pre School Zone for very young children will be hosted in the Kids’ Corner.
Commented Chris Torline, Senior Digital & Marketing Director, Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) Africa, “Nickelodeon’s SlimeFest is the most-anticipated family-friendly music festival of the year, bringing together star power, stunts, live music and tons of green slime for the ultimate family day out.
