Kiwi kids can get ready to wiggle along to all their favourite tunes from The Wiggles when they return down under in August this year.
Anthony, Tsehay, Lachy and Simon will sing and dance their way around Aotearoa along with Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, Henry theOctopus and the newest member of the crew, Shirley Shawn the Unicorn.
Kiwi kids and parents can expect to hear all the classics on repeat from Fruit Salad to Big Red Car as well as new songs from the group when the tour kicks off on August 20 in Hamilton, winding up in Dunedin on August 28.
They'll be making appearances in New Plymouth, Auckland, Palmerston North, Wellington and Christchurch along the way.
And the tour will feature a very special Kiwi guest, with radio personality Robert Rakete joining the group on stage in Christchurch and Auckland wearing his one-of-a-kind Wiggles skivvy made by students from Auckland's Mayfield Primary School.
Founding Wiggle Anthony Field says the group is "so excited" to be returning to New Zealand.
