The Original Wiggles Are Making A Comeback And Playing Adults-Only Shows
‘Get Ready To Wiggle’…. Again.
Yes, you read correctly! The original (good) Wiggles line-up are going to be touring again. And just so you don’t feel like a creep surrounded by kids, they will be playing adults-only shows.
In January, 2016 the band will be back on the touring circuit for 18+ shows so that all those who grew up with them can get pissed and have a nostalgic sing-along.

It comes as welcome news for all those left devastated by the band’s fracture in 2012, which left Anthony as the only foundation Wiggle remaining in the group. It also resulted in a bunch of pretenders joining and trying to be as good as the originals… But they didn’t fool us.

The kid’s group, originally formed as The Cockroaches in the 1980’s, hit a speed bump when singer, Greg Page temporarily quit the band due to an unknown fainting condition in 2006. Shortly after Page’s return, disagreements led to the departure of him, Murray Cook and Jeff Fatt.
The reformation and adults-only tour follows a number of early 90’s entertainers such as Peter Combe playing to rowdy mid-20’s in pubs and festivals around Australia.
