Trivia[]
- This tour marked:
- The first tour would also be notably for debuting a new Big Red Car model made by Rosemont's & Co. that would later be seen in the 2006 video Here Comes The Big Red Car.
- The first tour to be performed in Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne from now on.
- The first tour to be performed in Perth Burswood Dome, Perth until Greatest Hits In The Round.
- The first time Nicky Nacky Nocky Noo was performed since 1997.
- The second tour to have Ross Wilson do guest vocals on two songs (Eagle Rock and This Little Baby Is Born Again)
- The last time when Silver Bells That Ring In The Night and Wiggly Christmas Medley is performed.
- The penultimate Wiggles tour to use ramps at the front of the stage.
- Just like Lights, Camera, Action, Show!, The tour was originally planned to include a live 9-piece band.[2][3]
- Much like The Wiggly Big Show Tour, Yule Be Wiggling Christmas Show, and Wiggly Party: Live in Concert, The stage set used in this show is nearly identical to the one in the video.
- Most of The Wiggles' Families appear in the audience as listed.
- Anthony's mum Marie, wife Miki and baby daughter Lucia (during some songs such as Rock-A-Bye Your Bear and Lights, Camera, Action, Wiggles!)
- Paul Field's kids Luke, Clare, Joseph and Dominic (during The Wiggle Owl Medley)
- John Field and his Daughter Carla (during Hot Potato)
- Murray's Daughter Georgia Munro-Cook with a cast on her broken left wrist (during Rock-A-Bye Your Bear)
- Brett Clarke filled in for Anthony during the shows in Perth until he returned to the tour on December 5th, because Anthony broke his wrist and he's end up in the hospital and then he has to wear a cast, so they filmed The Wiggles concert at Sydney Entertainment Centre and the audience saw Anthony wearing a cast when he was dancing, which is the reason why the short number of shows is probably down to before the tour began[4].
- Ross Wilson appeared as King Mondo at the Sydney show to sing This Little Baby Is Born Again.
- During Play Your Guitar With Murray in the Sydney show, Anthony had the cameraman come on the stage to film him putting the Murray balloon up with one hand, so when that performance was used in TV Series 5, it showed Anthony breaking the fourth wall when he waved "come on" to the cameraman.
- An unused audience fragments of this tour was used in "Concierto Wiggly" segments from the Latin American adaptation of The Wiggles Show!.
