Just about every kid is a fan of “the world’s biggest preschool band,” The Wiggles, and as the group prepares to turn 21 this year, they’re taking their act on the road and are bringing some old friends along for the ride.

The tour will start on July 12 at the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego and will run for five weeks around the United States with stops along the way including Los Angeles, Phoenix, Orlando, and Atlanta. On each stop, children can expect to be delighted by some of the band’s biggest hits off any one of their 40 albums, including hits like Hot Potato, Toot Toot Chugga Chugga, and Rock a Byer Your Bear. Familiar friends such as Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Wags the Dog, and Henry the Octopus will all be there as well to go on adventures and play with The Wiggles.

Someone else very special joining the band this time is Greg Page, the original Yellow Wiggle. Page has been unable to travel with the band over the past five years after complications of a hernia had him facing some very serious health issues. Back to full health, Page says, “I’m so excited to be back with my friends and to be entertaining our incredible fans again.”

This isn’t the first time The Wiggles have been on tour to celebrate their summer birthday; last summer they trekked across the country on the “Big Birthday Summer Tour.”
