Its not the usual country music announcement we are used to, but we will take it.
Rev up your engines, The Wiggles are coming to Tamworth this January with a new song and a new set of wheels.
The new song ‘Big Red Ute’, released this week, has put the Wiggles in country-rock territory, inviting young listeners (and parents alike) to hop on board for an exciting musical journey.
Blending The Wiggles signature upbeat melodies, playful lyrics and irresistible beat, this is one catchy song that is sure to delight on any road trip
And while many are familiar with the iconic Big Red Car, for the first time ever The Wiggles have also unveiled their brand new, official roadworthy vehicle, the Big Red Ute.
Which you can catch cruisin’ into Tamworth for the 2025 Country Music Festival.
“’Big Red Ute’ is a playful nod to our original ‘Big Red Car’, but with a country rock twist that’s perfect for kids and parents.” said Anthony Field. (the OG blue Wiggle).
“There’s something truly special about taking everyday things like electric windows, cup holders, and the sound of the engine, and turning them into exciting adventures for children.”
“Young minds have a beautiful way of being fascinated by the simplest things.”
“‘Big Red Ute’is all about celebrating those little wonders that kids notice–things we adults sometimes take for granted. And the best part? It’s a song families can sing and dance to together, and we can’t wait to perform it at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, 21st January 2025.”
The Wiggles are set to throw on their cowboy/cowgirl hats, taking the Big Red Ute on a road trip to Australia’s Country Music Capital, where they will take their show off road and perform two very special shows on January 21 at AELEC(Australian Equine and Livestock Events Centre).
This will be the first time The Wiggles have performed in such a unique venue which is usually reserved for Rodeo’s and Horse Cutting events.
“We’re so excited to introduce the ‘Big Red Ute’ at the Tamworth Country Music Festival! This song has a country rock feel, but it’s also full of fun, imaginative moments that children will love.” Said Lachy Wiggle.
“For us, it’s about encouraging that sense of wonder, giving little ones a musical experience where they can clap along, stomp their feet, and go ‘vroom vroom’ all the way!”
“And the best part is, parents will be tapping their toes right alongside them. We can’t wait to see everyone at Tamworth joining in on the fun!”
Toyota Tamworth Country Music Festival manager Barry Harley says Tamworth is ready for it.
“We are excited to welcome The Wiggles to Tamworth for the Toyota 53rd Tamworth Country Music Festival in January!”
“There’s no better place to showcase their latest country hits than in Australia’s Country Music Capital, and we can’t wait to see The Wiggles pose in front of the Golden Guitar—two icons coming together this January!”
