The OG Wiggles Reunion Tour! was a concert tour launched by The Wiggles in 2022 that began on February 12th in Darwin, Australia and ended on August 26th in Christchurch, New Zealand.

The tour served as a reunion of the original lineup of the band (Murray Cook, Greg Page, Jeff Fatt, and Anthony Field), and is the first time the original members went on tour since 2012. It is the third reunion of the original members following the 25th anniversary benefit concerts in 2016 and the bushfire benefit reunion concerts in 2020, and the first reunion to be a full-fledged tour instead of a one-off performance for charity.

Various Australian musical artists appeared as the supporting act of every show, performing their own songs as well as the Wiggles song that they covered on the ReWiggled tribute album.

Press Release[1][]

Following the huge success of their recent sold-out adults-only concert, the OG Wiggles are back! With their last reunion performance receiving an overwhelming response and selling out in just five minutes, Anthony Field, Murray Cook, Jeff Fatt and Greg Page will tour the country with very special Saturday and Sunday night 15+ shows, featuring some of The Wiggles' best-loved songs and cameos from characters such as Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, and Henry the Octopus. And with The OG Wiggles' extraordinary music creds, it’s no surprise that they're being supported by some of the country's very best bands. Each show will have a wild support act, featuring some of Australia’s most loved and esteemed music artists, including Polish Club, DZ Deathrays and more. Jeff Fatt, OG Purple Wiggle, said, "All of those children who loved The Wiggles in the 90s are now adults who love the nostalgia and fun from that time in their lives. This night is for the grown-ups and is a chance to bring back some of that genuine, high-spirited liveliness again. We can't wait to relive those childhood memories and dance the night away to some of the favourite old-school tunes." "It will be The Wiggles as you remember and love them, but we’ll all have a bit greyer hair... and there’s a bar. We'll be playing all your favourite songs, and put on a show you won't forget," added Murray Cook, OG Red Wiggle. "Looking forward to getting back on stage with the OG Wiggles -we always have a great time together and can’t wait to see the "kids" reliving their childhood. I may have to pull back a bit on the dancing this time around though!" said Greg Page, OG Yellow Wiggle.
