Young fans and their parents packed the Bendigo Stadium for one of two performances of The Wiggles Rock and Roll Preschool tour.
Cathy Brew and four-year-old Alyssa were among The Wiggles crowd.
Alyssa brought along a bone for Wags the Dog and a bunch of roses for Dorothy the Dinosaur.
Ms Brew said her daughter was beyond excited.
"We went last year and she loved it. She loves to dance and sing. My husband is a music teacher and I play the guitar - so she grew up with music," Ms Brew said.
The tour was originally scheduled for the Ulumburra Theatre however the venue change came after the building, still under construction, was deemed unsafe.
Ms Brew said she was disappointed the venue had been changed but could understand the decision.
The Capital venue and events manager David Lloyd said it was a shame the concert was not at Ulumburra but said Wiggles' fans still enjoyed themselves.
"They are Australian icons. We are thrilled to get them to Bendigo every year," he said.
Sharon Giri took along Georgia, 3, and Ryan, 1. Ms Giri said The Wiggles soundtrack was on repeat in the family car.
"It helps calm them I think. Georgia loves them. She might not see them for a while and as soon as she sees them she knows exactly who they are," Ms Giri said.
The Wiggles Rock & Roll Preschool tour follows the runaway success of last year, where The Wiggles sold out 137 shows across every state and territory.
They performed to more than 250,000 fans, some of whom saw The Wiggles for the first time 25 years ago.
The current line up of The Wiggles was established in 2013 and includes Anthony Field, Lachy Gillespie, Simon Pryce and Emma Watkins.
