by Visit Blackpool
Teen pop sensation HRVY is the next act confirmed to play during SLIMEFEST in partnership with VisitBlackpool on 22nd October at The Arena, Blackpool Pleasure Beach. He joins hosts Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely, performers Jonas Blue, M.O, Max and Harvey, JoJo Siwa and Diversity and special guest Kira Kosarin of the The Thundermans.
HRVY said “Blackpool is going to be amazing, I can’t wait to perform at SLIMEFEST and get slimey!”
HRVY is set to be the next global teen pop sensation. A 19-year-old singer from Kent, HRVY has been building his social media profile since he was 12, when he began sharing covers of One Direction and Trey Songz hits. With 1 million followers on Facebook, 3.5 million Instagram followers and over 208 million views on YouTube, HRVY recently became a UK Ambassador for Musical.ly. In February 2017, he signed a major recording deal with Virgin EMI. His single 'Personal' has had over 90 million streams, whilst the follow up 'Hasta Luego' has had 15 million streams so far.
Please note: Due to overwhelming demand, SLIMEFEST is now completely sold out. Competitions will be running across the summer on Nickelodeon UK’s official social channels, website as well as on VisitBlackpool’s website – so please check the platforms for more information on how to enter.
Last year’s slime-filled music shows were a huge success with parents and kids alike. JoJo Siwa and Diversity are both returning to the SLIMEFEST stage this October as well as hosts Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely. Further headlining and supporting acts to be announced in the coming months.
