Nickelodeon star JoJo Siwa is heading to town — and Parramatta will host her only live Sydney performance.

A free performance and a fashion parade will be held at Westfield Parramatta from 10.30am on Saturday, and crowds are expected to be huge.

The singer, dancer and actor began her Australian visit at the Logies on Sunday, where she walked the red carpet, followed by a visit to the Gold Coast today.

She will also visit Melbourne ahead of her appearance at Level 2 Centre Court of Parramatta Westfield, where she will perform featuring her hit songs Kid in a Candy Store and Boomerang, along with new single High Top Shoes.

“I’m super excited to be at Westfield Parramatta and my performance is going to be super fun,” she said.

The 15-year-old, who gained a following after appearing on American reality shows Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition and Dance Moms, has more than 6.9 million followers on Instagram, more than 1.4 billion views on her YouTube channel and her songs have been streamed millions of times on Spotify.

She gained a following after appearing on American reality shows Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition and Dance Moms, and went on to release hit singles, a book, and appear in television shows.

She has a legion of young fans who can often be seen wearing her signature “JoJo’s Bows”.

The young star said it was “so amazing” to have fans from all over the world, including Australia.

“It’s crazy to think that I have all of these little kids looking up to me, but it’s awesome,” she said.
