From 11am, the Pat Rafter Arena Spectacular will bring together players and Nickelodeon characters for a mix of tennis fun, with an epic live performance by At Sunset who will debut their brand new single, Kiss Me.

“We love the summer of tennis and are super excited to perform our brand new single for the first time ever to Brisbane families. We’re huge tennis and Nickelodeon fans, so can’t wait to share the stage with some of our favourite stars – bring on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” said Harrison Kantarias from At Sunset.
