Next year, a new generation of fans will have the opportunity to see the world-famous children's entertainment group performing live in Bendigo.

And Anthony Field can't wait to meet them. Better known to most as the Blue Wiggle, and one of the group's founding members, the 57-year-old was excited to return to central Victoria.

"Because of COVID we haven't been able to play music for people, and that's what drives me and all of us to perform," Field said.

"All musicians throughout Australia are just hanging to get back into it."

He, Emma, Lachy, and Simon will be bringing Wiggly friends Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Wags the Dog, Henry the Octopus and Shirley Shawn the Unicorn to Bendigo on April 15 as part of their 'We're All Fruit Salad' tour.

A second Bendigo show was announced on Tuesday.

Field said the tour's name was drawn from a new song the group would be releasing in January.

"It features an international cast... all these amazing people from different cultures who came together to sing it with us," the Blue Wiggle said.

"The words are, 'We're all fruit salad in the same bowl.'

"It's a fun song, but we're such a divided world at the moment, so we just thought we'd put out something that brings people together."

It's not the first Wiggles tune to celebrate fruit salad.

"I love fruit salad and I can't go past fruit salad without singing 'yummy yummy'," Field said.

"I've been indoctrinated by my own song."

Field has been playing music since he was four years old - a violin, initially, which he learned at school.

The tenor banjo and the highland bagpipes are among his favourite musical instruments, now.

"Scottish music is very close to my heart," Field said.

He learned to play the bagpipes while serving in the army in the '80s.

"They had a pipes and drums [band]," Field said.

"I was an infantry soldier as well as a bagpiper."

He said he had loved being part of The Wiggles, and thanked the group's fans for trusting in its work.

"I just hope we instil our love of music and dance and creativity," the Blue Wiggle said.

"That's all we're trying to do is give children a real grounding or good experience of music and dance and theatre and just make them feel good about themselves."

Much might have changed in 30 years, but Field did not believe children had.

"They still enjoy the same music, same jokes, same visuals," he said.

But entertainment had become available in different forms.

"Are you real?", "Where's the Big Red Car?" and "How did you get out of the television?" are among the top questions young children ask the Blue Wiggle.

"You get some really good ones," Field said.
