  • Despite never actually being used, the Big Red Car appeared on stage sporadically from the Hobart show onwards.
    • The L plates have also been removed.
  • During the Hobart show, there was a minute of silence held in honour of Remembrance Day.
  • During the Perth and Melbourne shows, Tsehay wore the Taiwanese short-sleeved skivvy seen prior during the 2000s due to the arenas being especially hot. This marks the first time the 2003 Taiwanese short sleeved skivvy's been seen since before the Taiwanese Wiggles got a 2nd lineup in 2005.
  • Anthony wore his sequined skivvy during the Melbourne show.
  • This is the second time where a song ("Baby Shark") was performed again at the end of the show. The first was the Wake Up Jeff! Tour, where "Nya Nya Nya" was performed twice.
  • Greg Truman was seen in the audience during the Canberra show.
  • Evie was absent in the Newcastle show due to commitments with the Australian Ballet.
  • Jeff appeared in the Darling Harbour show as a guest musician.
  • Wiggly Big Day Out is this concert but filmed on video.
