The ORIGINAL WIGGLES reunite for the Australian Fire Crisis

That’s right, you read it, the ORIGINAL WIGGLES have reunited for a one-off fundraiser show in Castle Hill NSW, to raise funds for the Australian Fire Crisis.

Rev up the Big Red Car and grab a bowl of cold spaghetti because the four original members of Aussie children’s music group The Wiggles are reuniting for a very special, one-off show.

That’s right, Anthony Field, Murray Cook, Greg Page and Jeff Fatt - the original Red, Blue, Yellow and Purple Wiggles respectively - revealed on Monday that they’re gearing up to perform together for the first time in 14 years.

And it’s all for a very worthwhile cause - the OG skivvy-wearing band will take the stage to raise funds for the current bushfire crisis that’s claimed the lives of 21 people, destroyed 2,500 homes and wiped out half a billion animals so far.

The group announced the reunion show on Twitter on Monday.

“OG Wiggles reunion show to raise some much-needed funds for bushfire relief,” reads the tweet.

“ALL proceeds from the show will be going to the Australian Red Cross and WIRES. Over 18s show. Tickets go on sale tomorrow Jan 7th at 10:00am. Head to http://thewiggles.com/tours for more info,” it states.

The Wiggles was founded in 1991 after Jeff and Anthony - then members of ‘80s pop band The Cockroaches - got together with fellow teaching students Greg and Murray to record a children’s music album.

Tickets are just $35 and all funds raised will be donated to Australian Red Cross and WIRES, two charities that are supporting people and animals affected by the catastrophic fires raging along the country’s east coast.
