Reece Mastin, Johnny Ruffo slated to appear at inaugural Slimefest

A new festival is launching for underage music lovers - it's called Slimefest and it's kicking off in Sydney this September.

The acts who've signed on so far include Jessica Mauboy, Reece Mastin, Justice Crew, Stan Walker and Johnny Ruffo.

Ruffo said of the Nickelodeon festival, "That's a big advantage this festival will have; you don't get slimed at the other festivals. I'm just hoping it's lime or apple-flavoured."

Ben Richardson, general manager of Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand, said the gig would be a "next-level concert experience" and that it would be broadcast nationally.

Slimefest takes place at Hordern Pavilion on September 15, with tickets on sale July 27.
