Trivia[]
- This was the first Wiggles tour to have the music be performed live rather than re-use the original studio instrumentals.
- The 8-piece band featured was originally intended to be 9-piece.[2][3]
- This was the third Wiggles tour to have an intermission, the first being the Yule Be Wiggling Christmas Show, and the second being the Wiggly Party: Live in Concert tour.
- This was also the last Wiggles tour to feature a two-act structure until The Wiggles BIG SHOW! & CinderEmma tour of 2015.
- During the intermission, Paul Field would come on stage and ask Wiggly Trivia questions.[citation needed]
- During the shows at Melbourne's Vodafone Arena, Ross Wilson appeared as a special guest to sing "Eagle Rock".
- This is the last Wiggles tour where Jeff wore his short-sleeved T-shirt (from 1997-2001) before switching to his then-current skivvy, after this, Greg would be the only Wiggle wearing his short-sleeved T-shirt (from 1997-2001) at every concert until 2006 (except for the concerts recorded for a video or TV Series) while Jeff, Murray, and Anthony wear their then-current skivvies.
