The Wiggles’ breakout star ‘Tree of Wisdom’ lands own headline tour, to release new album

He’s a social media sensation with more than 200 million views online, and now, the Tree of Wisdom has made a mega announcement.

Yes, the Tree of Wisdom did catch The Wiggles cast off-guard when he pulled out those dance moves during filming.

Dominic Field, as he’s known out of his vibrant green leafy costume, has exploded in popularity over the past year thanks to his signature set of chaotic routines on the Australian children’s program, which have made him a bona fide social media sensation with more than 200 million views.

And just months after finding viral fame, Field is slated to headline his own national tour, with The Wiggles today announcing the upcoming ‘Tree of Wisdom Arena Spectacular Tour’ kicking off in November, as well as his own studio album to be released in October.

Field’s public favour all stems back to The Wiggles’ recent reimagining of the catchy Irish folk song Rattlin’ Bog. In the music video, he breaks out into a series of chaotic dance moves that progressively get more and more adventurous.

Among the hundreds of re-shares on TikTok, including from US reality star Khloe Kardashian, the general consensus has been: “I want whatever the Tree of Wisdom is having.”

Aside from that, many viewers have also been eager to understand what went down on-set when it was filmed, with a flurry of comments pointing to a visibly mystified Purple Wiggle Lachy, who attempts to hold character as Field lets loose.

Speaking to news.com.au, Field confirmed no-one knew just how hard he was going to go.

“The way we work at The Wiggles … it wasn’t on the schedule four months in advance. You know? It was very much just like, we’ve got a week of filming and we’ll see what we can fit in,” Field says.

“And so it was very much just, ‘OK next we’re doing the Rattlin’ Bog.’ It’s such difficult song to sing. There’s so many words. So it was a matter of, they’re [the core cast] locked into to what they need to do, and I’ve pretty much got free range, and my ultimate goal was to try to slip up Lachy, or slip up someone in the background.

“Every time I’m dancing, I’m trying to catch someone off guard. I’m also thinking, ‘OK, what can I do next?’ And whatever comes out when it comes out. That’s what happens, and it always seems to get bigger and faster.”

The video that started it all: The Tree of Wisdom’s iconic Rattlin’ Bog music video.

Lachy Wiggle appears genuinely stumped at various points.

Fans can expect that signature energy for Field’s upcoming tour, with the set list comprising of Wiggles classics and music from the upcoming Tree of Wisdom album.

Two tracks have been unveiled early today, including Field’s cover of Tina Turner’s iconic Nutbush City Limits featuring Yellow Wiggle Tsehay Hawkins.

Field has a grand goal with the iconic dancefloor earworm, revealing The Wiggles have discovered the song is only a staple in Australia, despite Turner’s US roots.

“We’ve realised recently that Australia is the only one who does the dance,” Field says.

“We’ve been touring the world and we play this song and we just get these looks. Even in New Zealand, our close neighbours. It’s not much of a thing there.

“No one knows the nutbush dance. So we’ve taken it on ourselves. We are going to be the international teachers of the nutbush dance.”

Field, the youngest child of former Wiggles manager Paul Field and nephew of OG Blue Wiggle Anthony Field, who first appeared in the beloved group as a one-year-old in 1995, has also managed to transcend the target youth market, assembling a fanbase of what he coins “tree-nagers” and parents alike.

Just weeks ago, Field set the Old Mates pub in New York alight when he whipped out his signature moves for dozens of adults, yet again, going viral on the platform.

He’s chuffed by the admiration, mostly because he’s quietly been “that guy” on wedding dance floors for years.

“I think it just really reminds everyone of that one guy at a wedding, or that one guy on the dance floor, who doesn’t really care what’s going on around him,” Field says.

“I think the thing I’m proudest of the most is … What you see of the Tree is very much who I am. I am that guy at the wedding who’s just having the best time.

“I’m the youngest of five children. So I’ve always been trying to get the attention of my parents and all that stuff. So it’s just me just having the most fun. And I think that resonates with people.”

Presale tickets for ‘The Wiggles’ Tree of Wisdom Big Show Arena Spectacular Tour’, sponsored by the Australian Fruit and Vegetable Industry, will be available from 1pm AEDT Tuesday July 29 for Amex Card members.

General public tickets go on sale this Friday August 1 at 2pm.

“It’s going to be in the round, which we haven’t done for quite some time. The original Wiggles did it way back in the day, but this new generation of Wiggles, we’re doing it in the round, in the arena. It’s gonna be spectacular,” Field says.

“Of course, we’ll have the classic songs that everyone knows and loves from The Wiggles, but we’re throwing in some new stuff. There’s gonna be balls flying around, and of course, there’s gonna be some new stuff from the Tree of Wisdom album as well. It’s going to get people dancing and it’s going to bring that energy up.”
