On May 18, Anthony, Murray, Greg and Jeff - The Wiggles – announced that 2012 would be their final year of touring together and unveiled plans for their final world tour together.

Having played in arenas and theatres around the world, The Wiggles are finally coming back to New Zealand for the first time in 18 months, to entertain their many Wiggly friends.

The Wiggles will embark on the Celebration Tour of the New Zealand in September with a hits loaded spectacular giving their Wiggly fans a chance to say farewell to Anthony, Murray, Greg and Jeff in their final shows together.

Now in their 21st year performing to children around the globe they are bringing their big hits such as Hot Potato, Getting Strong, Rock A Bye Your Bear and Toot Toot Chugga Chugga and more in a show jam packed with audience favourites!

At the end of 2012 Jeff, Murray and Greg will then hand over the purple, red and yellow skivvies to a new generation of performers to instead take on backstage creative roles.

Anthony (Blue Wiggle) will continue on stage as the Blue Wiggle alongside Emma Watkins, Lachlan Gillespie, and Simon Pryce, who have been handpicked by the group to become the Yellow, Purple, and Red Wiggles.

“We’ve been entertaining children around the world for 21 years and it’s important that we plan for the future so that The Wiggles can keep wiggling in the years to come,” said Murray.
