2026 is shaping up to be a big year for beloved entertainers The Wiggles, releasing not only a new record, but unveiling their most ambitious live touring production to date.

The forthcoming tour will see the group heading to arenas throughout October, November, and December, offering up a live experience bolstered by “larger-than-life performances, immersive visual effects, breathtaking costumes, audience participation and non-stop musical fun.”

Dubbed the Sparkle! Big Show, audiences are told they'll be stepping inside a "sparkling adventure" unlike anything The Wiggles have presented before, with Anthony and Lucia (Blue Wiggles), Tsehay and Evie (Yellow Wiggles), Simon and Caterina (Red Wiggles), and Lachy and John (Purple Wiggles) set to be joined by Dorothy The Dinosaur, Wags The Dog, Henry The Octopus, Captain Feathersword, Buddy, and the Tree of Wisdom.

The run of dates will kick off at Sydney’s TikTok Arena on October 24th, before visiting Newcastle, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne, Hobart, Launceston, Brisbane, and Wollongong, before making a return Sydney and visiting the Afterpay Arena on December 19th.

"For over 35 years, we've had the privilege of bringing families together through music and entertainment,” says founding Blue Wiggle Anthony Field. “We can't wait to see thousands of families singing, dancing and sparkling together across Australia.”

The new tour comes alongside the release of their latest album, Sparkle!: A Circus Of Lights, which arrives today, and sees the group describing it as being “filled with dazzling, glittery songs that the whole family can sing along to and enjoy.”

This testament to inspiring movement, creativity, and wonder is also at the heart of their live show, with infectious melodies, playful storytelling, and sparkle being kept at the forefront of all activities,

“From the moment the lights go down, we want families to feel like they've entered a magical sparkle world filled with music, colour and wonder,” explains Red Wiggle Simon Pryce. “

These songs were created to encourage children to move, imagine and participate, and seeing them come alive in front of thousands of families will be incredibly special. This will be one giant Wiggly celebration."

Tickets to The Wiggles' upcoming arena show go on sale from 10am local time on Thursday, July 2nd, with an American Express Card Member Presale launching at 10am local time on Tuesday, June 30th. The Wiggles’ new album, Sparkle!: A Circus Of Lights, is out now.
