The Wiggles are still the hardest-working band in Australia – here’s what they’re playing on the 2026 tour
There’s something slightly surreal about watching The Wiggles in 2026 and realising they’re still running one of the tightest live shows in the country.
The current run – spanning The Big Little Show! and The Tree of Wisdom Arena Spectacular – leans into that legacy, mixing the classics everyone knows with a newer wave of songs built for bigger rooms and louder crowds.
It’s structured chaos in the best way: constant movement, quick transitions, and just enough breathing room for the character bits to land.
Whether it’s your first Wiggles show or your tenth, the formula still works. Expect full crowd participation, rotating leads depending on the lineup, and a setlist that barely lets up from start to finish.
Below is the 2026 setlist, plus a rough guide to how the show flows on the night.

What changes depending on the show
The Tree of Wisdom version brings in newer tracks like ‘Big Red Ute’ and ‘Bin Night,’ with Dominic Field appearing as the Tree itself. Lineups shift too – the NSW leg has leaned on John Pearce, while upcoming QLD dates are expected to feature Lachy Gillespie more prominently.
No matter the version, the structure holds: high-energy open, mid-show interaction, and a closing run that goes straight through ‘Hot Potato’ into ‘Big Red Car’ and ‘The Rattlin’ Bog’ – which, honestly, still goes harder than it should.
