Last night, The Wiggles took to the stage at Perth's RAC Arena for a sold-out performance, with a special guest throwing on a wiggly skivvy! Tame Impala's Kevin Parker joined the childrens act on stage to perform his hit single Elephant, as well as Hot Potato.
"When I got the invitation I knew it was a once-in-a-life time opportunity so it was an obvious yes. The Wiggles are the real rockstars in this world. I was pretty nervous!" Parker shares. Earlier this year, The Wiggles topped triple j's Hottest 100 with their cover of Elephant.
Last month, The Wiggles dropped their new double album, ReWiggled, celebrating their 30th anniversary. The double collection of songs celebrates the children's band we all know and love, whilst also sailing into uncharted territory as the group take on some of the worlds biggest hits. Side One of the album brings together some of our favourite Australian musicians, including Spacey Jane, DZ Deathrays, The Chats, Stella Donnelly, San Cisco, Emily Wurramara, Polish Club, Dami Im, Donny Benet, Emma Donovan and The Putbacks, Custard, Melbourne Ska Orchestra, Luca Brasi, and more, who will all bring their own flavour to classic songs from The Wiggles.
On the albums second side, we've been treated “wigglified” versions of tracks from the likes of AC/DC, Queen, Rihanna, James Brown, The Chats, Fatboy Slim, and many more. Who hasn't always wanted a cover of Bohemian Rhapsody from The Wiggles?
The Wiggles are bringing together the newly expanded line-up for shows throughout the day, whilst The OG Wiggles take over to rock out at night on their national tour. The late shows will see the group joined by a rotating cast of artists including The Polish Club, DZ Deathrays, Planet and more to be announced.
ReWiggled is out now!
