It’s perhaps THE high-energy, family fun festival of the summer and it’s returning to Chicago’s Northerly Island.

That would be Nickelodeon’s SlimeFest Music Festival, running June 8-9 at Huntington Bank Pavilion. This year’s music lineup boasts Grammy Award-winner Pitbull, singer/songwriter Bebe Rexha, YouTube sensation JoJo Siwa, and Grammy-winner and recent “Masked Singer” champ T-Pain.

Also scheduled to appear at the fest are Nickelodeon stars Annie LeBlanc (“Annie vs. Hayley”); Scarlet Spencer and Dallas Dupree Young (“Cousins For Life”); Ella Anderson and Riele Downs (“Henry Danger”); and Owen Joyner and Daniella Perkins (“Knight Squad”).
