You'e Got A Friend In Me - The Wiggles To Release Country Album & Video "Wiggle Up, Giddy Up!" On Friday, March 7th

The world's most popular preschool music group The Wiggles are at it again as they saddle up on their horses and banana guns and ride off into the music heaven sunset with the launch of their new album and video Wiggle Up, Giddy Up! set to release on CD, DVD and digital download across the USA, UK, Canada and Australia/New Zealand on March 7, 2025 distributed by Amazon.com Prime Video.

The new album and video showcases the famous electric eight of edutainment's newest escapades as they once again ride their horses and donkeys down the Wiggly Trail of Nashville, TN to bring together a new collection of Western laments and some remastered versions of old favorites.

The new album and video follows a new trend for the band with newer releases focusing on different genres and styles of music, following the success of last year's The Wiggles Sound System: Rave of Innocence. The new collection of Western ballads features the preschool music icons as they join forces with a all-star cast of country music icons, including the Wolfe Brothers, Dasha, Orville Beck, the legendary Dolly Parton and Troy Cassar-Daley among others.
