Nickelodeon SlimeFest has seen success around the globe as a slime-filled, multi-platform music and entertainment event since its overseas inception in 2012 in Australia. The U.S. music festival marks the sixth local adaptation of this popular event and the first time a Nickelodeon International event has been localized for Nick in the U.S. To date, over 100,000 people have attended Nickelodeon SlimeFest events around the world, including sold-out shows in South Africa, Australia, Italy, UK and Spain. This year's Nickelodeon SlimeFest UK will take place at The Arena at Blackpool Pleasure Beach 19–21 Oct., with more international event dates to be announced later this year. On 9–10 June 2018, Nickelodeon SlimeFest made its debut in the United States as a two-day family friendly music festival in Chicago. The event returned to the United States on 8–9 June 2019.
The event was set to return to the United States on 21–22 March 2020 at The Forum as a tie-in with the 2020 Kids' Choice Awards. However, as of 7 March 2020, the event was postponed as a result of local health concerns about the international coronavirus pandemic. On 3 April 2020, it was announced that the 2020 event had been cancelled.
