Trivia[]
- Lachlan Gillespie, Simon Pryce and Paul Paddick did not participate in the tour due to taking leave to spend time with their families. Jeff Fatt and Dominic Field respectively filled in for Gillespie and Paddick as the purple Wiggle and Captain Feathersword.
- This was the first tour to have an original Wiggle fill in for a current member of the band.
- This tour marked the first time Jeff has performed in live shows for children since the Christmas Celebration Tour!
- During the tour, Anthony wore a slightly different outfit than the other Wiggles, appearing in a skivvy and pants seen prior during 2007-2011.
- According to a Facebook Live stream with Simon Pryce and Lachlan Gillespie, the tour was originally going to take place in Canada during the summer of 2020, but was ultimately postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[citation needed]
