The Wiggles are feeling some serious love this morning, because their upcoming tour has more dates on it than the one 5 Seconds Of Summer announced during last night’s 2015 ARIA Awards.
A very on-point hashtag came into the world shortly after 5SOS used a live video message at the ARIAs to announce the three-show (yep, three-show) Australian leg of their Sound Live Feels Live tour. The group made the announcement wearing animal onesies, but the news of only three local shows might have gone down better if they were wearing coloured skivvies.
With news of 5SOS’ new tour at hand, a hashtag was born…

…and The Wiggles responded in the best way possible.
Our current Aussie tour is going to Tassie/Perth/Adelaide/Melbourne/Canberra/Wollongong/Newcastle/Sydney/Brissy so the hashtag is true!

5SOS boys are set to perform in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney across September and October next year, while The Wiggles, as mentioned, currently have shows lined up all around the country. The group’s original (and best) lineup is even reuniting to perform an 18+ pub show in January, which is sure to be one of the hottest tickets of 2016.
Comparisons between 5SOS and The Wiggles aren’t anything new, and there’s even a whole Twitter account dedicated to reasons why the two groups might actually be the same. Here are just a few of the more obvious reasons:
