The original members of Australian children's entertainment group The Wiggles are reuniting for an R15+ tour across New Zealand in August 2022.

In a statement released on Tuesday by The Wiggles, they announced the OG Wiggles will be returning to do a reunion tour in August.

Anthony Field, Jeff Fatt, Greg Page and Murray Cook will be performing classic hits like 'Wake up Jeff' and 'Hot Potato' and have appearances from Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, and Henry the Octopus for the mature audiences.

The Wiggles are expecting a large turnout of older fans, with their last reunion tour selling out in only five minutes.

"All of those children who loved The Wiggles in the 90s are now adults who love the nostalgia and fun from that time in their lives," Fatt said.

"This night is for the grown-ups and is a chance to bring back some of that genuine, high-spirited liveliness again. We can't wait to relive those childhood memories and dance the night away to some of the favourite old-school tunes."

The tour begins in Auckland on August 20 and will finish up in Christchurch on August 26.

Tickets go on sale on Thursday at 10 am.
