The Wiggles, the world’s most popular children’s entertainment group, are bringing their most dazzling show yet to the UK and Ireland next Easter. The Wiggles’ Sparkle! BIG SHOW will visit 10 cities across England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland from Thursday 25th March to Saturday 10th April 2027, perfectly timed for the Easter holidays. The tour takes in some of the UK’s biggest arenas, from Manchester’s AO Arena to Glasgow’s OVO Hydro, and marks The Wiggles’ first shows in Ireland since 2017.
Tickets go on general sale at 10am BST on Friday 23rd October via thewiggles.com/live, with a Wiggles newsletter pre-sale opening at 10am BST on Tuesday 20th October and running until 10pm BST on Thursday 22nd October.
The Sparkle! BIG SHOW is The Wiggles’ most ambitious production yet, transforming each venue into a dazzling world of music, colour and light. Families can expect larger-than-life performances, show-stopping costumes, immersive visual effects and plenty of audience participation, with the classics everyone knows by heart – from Hot Potato to Fruit Salad – ready for one almighty sing-along.
Sharing the stage is a line-up that spans generations of Wiggles: founding member Anthony alongside his daughter Lucia (Blue Wiggles), Simon and Caterina (Red Wiggles), Lachy and John (Purple Wiggles), and Tsehay and Evie (Yellow Wiggles).
They’ll be joined by much-loved Wiggly friends Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, Henry the Octopus and Captain Feathersword, as well as the Tree of Wisdom – the leaf-shaking viral star whose dance routines have racked up more than 200 million views online and won over fans from Robert De Niro to Khloé Kardashian.
Anthony Field, founding member and Blue Wiggle, said: “For over 35 years, we’ve had the privilege of bringing families together through music, movement, and lots of Wiggly fun, and the welcome we’ve had from families has been incredible. We’re so excited to be bringing The Sparkle! BIG SHOW to Ireland for the very first time in 10 years! It’s our biggest and brightest show yet, and we can’t wait to see thousands of families singing, dancing and sparkling together this Easter. We’ve got so many surprises in store, and we’re counting down the days until we can Wiggle with everyone again!”
At the heart of the new production is “Sparkle!: A Circus of Lights”, an uplifting collection of brand-new songs designed to inspire movement, creativity and wonder.
Simon Pryce, Red Wiggle, added: “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. The whole show is designed to get children moving, imagining and joining in, and seeing that come alive with thousands of families at every show will be incredibly special. This will be one giant Wiggly celebration.”
Now celebrating 35 years, The Wiggles are loved by generations of families, with many of the parents who grew up singing along now sharing the songs with children of their own. And with tickets on sale well ahead of the festive season, a trip to the Sparkle! BIG SHOW makes a very sparkly stocking filler for little fans – and the grown-ups who still know every word.
Tickets are expected to go faster than a Hot Potato – so grab your glitter, get your dancing shoes on and head to thewiggles.com/live to book.
