Wiggles ready to roll in their Big Red Car

AUSSIE icons The Wiggles are hopping in their big red car and hitting the road to the regions, stopping in Bendigo in July to perform four shows.

Tickets to the Superhero Tour sold out in just seven minutes last week and purple Wiggle, Lachlan Gillespie, said members of the indefatigable group were ready to get back to live performing for their young fans following COVID restrictions.

“It’s what we do best but it’s also what we love the best,” he said.

“We really did miss it and you don’t quite realise how much you’ve missed it until you get to start doing again, to see the kids’ faces particularly on this regional tour when you’re so close and you just see the joy it brings.

“For a lot of the kids it’s their first show and you can see that, they’re all so different, they’re either sitting still and taking it all in or they’re dancing. It is so beautiful.”

Four shows at The Capital will include a mix of morning and matinee sessions featuring Gillespie, original blue Wiggle Anthony Field, Simon Pryce, Tsehay Hawkins, Caterina Mete and John Pearce.

Gillespie said touring regional areas remained a focus for the group and brought joy to audiences both young and young at heart.

“There’s even more of an appreciation for bringing the show to the regions and that’s what The Wiggles have always tried to do, is get to those places that don’t get as many shows,” he said.

“I love this tour, personally, I love getting back to all these places, it’s the best.”

The tour will travel throughout Victoria as well as some locations in South Australia and New South Wales.
