The Wiggles are starting 2025 with a surprise – a country music album.
Wiggle Up, Giddy Up! is set to release on March 7th and features a star-studded lineup of country artists, including Dolly Parton, Lainey Wilson, Orville Peck, Dasha, Jackson Dean, Morgan Evans, Troy Cassar-Daley, Travis Collins, MacKenzie Porter, Kaylee Bell, The Wolfe Brothers, and the iconic Slim Dusty.
The album’s first single, the title track, is out now and features US artist Dasha, known for her viral hit “Austin.”
“We’re so excited to share ‘Wiggle Up, Giddy Up!’ with families everywhere,” says Lachy Gillespie, the Purple Wiggle.
“It’s a song that’s packed with energy, fun, and plenty of country flair. Collaborating with the incredible Dasha, whose music has already brought country music to a whole new audience, was an absolute joy. Whether you’re three, thirty-three, or ninety-three, this song is all about bringing people together to sing, dance, and even try a bit of line dancing! We’re looking forward to performing this song at the iconic Tamworth Country Music festival and can’t wait for everyone to hear the full album in March.”
Blue Wiggle Anthony Field adds, “This is one of the most exciting projects we’ve ever been part of, in fact, I’ve never spent so much time on an album before. Country music is all about storytelling and connection and combining that with The Wiggles’ fun and imagination felt like the perfect match. We can’t wait for families everywhere to hear these songs!”
