Trivia

• This was the first Wiggles tour of North America to feature Tsehay, Caterina, Lucia & John as Wiggles, and the first tour of the country the Wiggles had done since the COVID-19 pandemic ended.
  • This was also the first Wiggles tour of North America to not feature any appearance from Shirley Shawn the Unicorn.
• Despite being mentioned and shown in promotional material, Evie Ferris did not participate in the tour.
• The tour was originally meant to begin with two shows in Philadelphia and Washington D.C. However, for unknown reasons, both shows were cancelled entirely.
• During the Montclair and Toronto shows, various fans in attendance were invited to briefly perform on stage with the band.
• During a interview, Anthony Field revealed that The Wiggles received complaints regarding the lack of songs about Wags and Henry, subsequently resulting in "Henry's Dance" and "Wags The Dog, He Likes To Tango" being added to the setlist starting from the Boston show onward.
• During the Westbury shows, half the audience in attendance were adults with special needs.
