The Kid LAROIis paying homage to the music of his Australian childhood!
During the final date of his End of the World Tour in Melbourne on Sunday, the 18-year-old Aussie singer-songwriter broughtThe Wiggles— including founding members Jeff Fatt and Greg Page, who’ve since departed the group, as well as Anthony Fields — onstage to perform three of the children’s band’s biggest hits.
After singing “Tragic,” the sixth track in LAROI’s 23-song set at the Rod Laver Arena, the musician born Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard introduced The Wiggles and delivered energetic renditions of “Hot Potato,” “Fruit Salad” and “Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car.”

In April,Lil Nas Xposted a tweet claiming he wantsThe Wigglesto share the stage with him on his upcoming Long Live Montero Tour. While it seemed like he was joking, the band said they’re prepared to hit the road together.
“trying really hard to get the wiggles to co-headline the tour with me,” the 23-year-old performer and frequent internet troll tweeted. “i will keep you guys updated.”
Shortly after his post went live, The Wiggles enthusiastically accepted the offer. “We’re ready to wiggle with you!” read a reply tweet from the band.
Field also responded to Lil Nas X’s tweet. “The Big Red Car is packed and ready mate! Let’s Wiggle!” wrote the 58-year-old performer, known as Blue Wiggle.
A few weeks prior, The Wiggles joined forces withKevin Parker of Tame Impalato perform “Hot Potato” during a concert at Perth, Australia’s RAC Arena.
“When I got the invitation I knew it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity so it was an obvious yes,” Parker, 36, told Australian radio station Triple J, perNME, of theperformanceat the time. “The Wiggles are the real rockstars in this world. I was pretty nervous!”
