Nick AU has also announced that Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand will be showing SLIMEFEST on Monday 30th September 2013 at 5pm!
In this round world there is one hero who dares to be square. One hero who dares to be himself. One hero who is happy and positive no matter what the world throws at him. That hero is SpongeBob SquarePants. Inspired by SpongeBob, Nickelodeon is inviting kids in Australia and New Zealand to band together in a celebration of positivity, optimism, and being an individual.
To celebrate SLIMEFEST 2013 and "Dare to be Square", the Australian pop, R&B, and soul singer-songwriter Guy Sebastian has written a brand new song and Nickelodeon and Guy Sebastian are daring Australian and Kiwi kids to be part of it! To join in, simply learn the lyrics to Guy's new "Dare to be Square" song on daretobesquare.com.au, record yourself singing the chorus, and YOU could be singing along with Guy as part of Nick's virtual choir on the big screen when Guy performs at SLIMEFEST 2013! Join in, be heard and together we'll show the world that nobody can stop us from being who we are, and that just like SpongeBob, we are going to be positive no matter what and Dare to be Square! With YOUR help, let's spread the word and be heard. So stand up, sing it loud and Dare to be Square! By submitting your entry, you will join hundreds of other kids in a voice against meanies everywhere, and you just might see yourself on the giant video wall screens singing along with Guy! Record the chorus as many times as you like. You can even throw a square to show you care!
The craziest kids' concert ever, Nickelodeon's SLIMEFEST is jam-packed with cool celebrities, mega-messy stunts, electrifying musical performances, and of course, Nickelodeon's trademark slime! It's a festival experience that makes it THE ultimate family concert event for 2013. Joining Guy Sebastian for two 90 minute shows on Friday 27th September 2013 at Sydney Olympic Park Sports Centre will be Nickelodeon's very own Big Time Rush, the US duo Heffron Drive (Kendall Schmidt and BTR's current guitarist, Dustin Belt), Samantha Jade, Justice Crew (Lukas Bellesini, Paul Eric Merciadez, John Len Ruela Pearce, Len John Ruela Pearce, Emmanuel Rodriguez, Samson Cosray Smith, and Solo Tohi), and Commando Steve Willis!
At SLIMEFEST 2012, celebrities Rove, Delta Goodrem, Lisa Wilkinson, Karl Stefanovic, Ruby Rose and Cody Simpson introduced the new pro-social campaign for positivity, inspired by the ever-optimistic SpongeBob SquarePants. A newly-blonde Stan Walker sang "Dynamite", with the lyrics re-versioned to lead the 5000-strong crowd to "throw their squares up in the air sometime". Square photos sent in by both kids and celebrities flashed up on the big screen while kids in the audience threw up their own square symbols, creating an amazing moment of solidarity against meanies - a touching display representing positivity and inclusiveness.
