nz wiggles tour

The Wiggles' upcoming New Zealand tour will now include two adult-only shows

Kiwi kids adults can get ready to wiggle along to all their favourite tunes from The Wiggles when they return down under in August this year.

It has now been revealed that two of the concerts included in the tour will be for adults only!

With many of the kids, who first loved the Wiggles back in the 1990s now entering their 30s, The Wiggles decided to honour them by putting on special shows in Auckland and Christchurch just for those 15 years and older.

What's more, the show will feature the OG Wiggles line-up, Anthony Field, Greg Page Jeff Fatt and Murray Cook.

Meanwhile, Anthony, Tsehay, Lachy and Simon will sing and dance their way around Aotearoa along with Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, Henry the Octopus and the newest member of the crew, Shirley Shawn the Unicorn.

Kiwi kids and parents can expect to hear all the classics on repeat from Fruit Salad to Big Red Car as well as new songs from the group when the tour kicks off on August 20 in Hamilton, winding up in Dunedin on August 28.

They'll be making appearances in New Plymouth, Auckland, Palmerston North, Wellington and Christchurch along the way.

And the tour will feature a very special Kiwi guest, with radio personality Robert Rakete joining the group on stage in Christchurch and Auckland wearing his one-of-a-kind Wiggles skivvy made by students from Auckland's Mayfield Primary School.

Founding Wiggle Anthony Field says the group is "so excited" to be returning to New Zealand.

We're so excited to announce that The Wiggles Big Show Tour will be heading to beautiful New Zealand in August! Tickets on sale this Friday at 10am 💛💜❤️💙 https://t.co/EJcgzXeyEX pic.twitter.com/OfCB0yGzm7 — The Wiggles (@TheWiggles) June 6, 2022

"The Wiggles Big Show is so much fun, and I can't wait for everyone to experience it! You'll hear all the classic songs you love plus new ones like 'Hey Tsehay!'

"The show also features a variety of dance styles and performances, and we're bringing all our Wiggly friends too. Children will see and hear drums, keyboards, banjos, guitars, bagpipes and lots of singing. We hope to see you there!"

Last year, The Wiggles celebrated 30 years of entertaining and educating millions of kids - and their parents - all over the world.

Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday June 10.

Billie Eilish has announced a major world tour to support her upcoming third album Hit Me Hard and Soft , but it does not include any New Zealand dates.

The 'Bad Guy' singer will be playing 12 shows in Australia as part of the tour in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane throughout February 2025.

Eilish has come under fire from Kiwi fans who feel they've been left out of the tour.

"New Zealand, dawg???" one commented on her Instagram post which detailed the tour.

"Like girl, why [the f**k] does Australia get 12 shows and we get none?" another wrote.

Another noted Eilish had previously played New Zealand.

"Bro right, she came last two times why not this time?" they commented, referencing her Spark Arena gigs in Auckland in 2019 and 2022.

Another commented that there was a month-long gap between the end of her Australian dates and her next set of gigs in Stockholm, saying: "Bestie there's a month between [Australia] and her next tour, I reckon she'll slot a few shows in there."

However, in announcing the shows, promoter Frontier Touring confirmed all the dates were revealed, potentially indicating there would be no further shows added to the tour.

One other commenter believed Taylor Swift's recent Eras Tour dates in Australia had set a precedent for bands. When the pop star announced dates for that tour in 2023, she had no New Zealand gigs on her Down Under visit, yet still broke records with what became the most successful world tour ever.

"She saw NZ swarm to AU for Taylor and is expecting us to do the same," they wrote.

Newshub has approached Frontier Touring for comment.

The nine-time Grammy-winning pop star, 22, has announced her massive Hit Me Hard And Soft world tour, which includes 12 dates around Australia.

Eilish, who just scooped up her second Oscar for Best Original Song for Barbie’s What Was I Made For? will kick off her tour later this year in Canada before heading to Queensland on February 18, 2025, for the first in her run of Aussie shows.

The singer will complete four shows at Brisbane Entertainment Centre (February 8, 19, 21 and 22), then four at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena (February 24, 25, 27 and 28), then finishing up with her last four at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena (March 4, 5, 7 and 9).

The tour is expected to sell out, but Eilish fans have five possible opportunities to buy tickets.

The American Express Members pre-sale begins on May 1.

It will be followed by the Frontier Member, Live Nation and Vodafone pre-sales on May 2.

General ticket sales will take place a day later, on May 3.

It’s already been confirmed that once tickets are all snapped up, there’ll be no further dates added.

The announcement of Eilish’s tour coincides with the release of her new album, Hit Me Hard and Soft , which is out on May 17.

She last visited Australia on her 12-date, sold-out Happier Than Ever tour in 2022.

Pakistan vs New Zealand: fifth T20 cricket international – as it happened

All our updates as Pakistan beat New Zealand by nine runs in Lahore to draw the series in the final T20 of the tour.

This page is now closed. Thanks for joining us. These were the updates as Pakistan beat New Zealand by nine runs to win the final T20 international of New Zealand’s tour:

• Pakistan draw the series with New Zealand following a nine-run win in the final T20 international of the tour.
• Babar Azam top scored with 69 as Pakistan scored 178-5. Shaheen Shah Afridi took four wickets on his return to the side as the Kiwis, who had reached 81-1, were bowled out for 169.
• The Kiwis led the five-match series 2-1 coming into the fifth game following a four-run win on Thursday .
• The Kiwis romped to a seven-wicket win in the third match in Rawalpindi to level the series on Sunday.
• Pakistan won the second match at the same venue with the same margin on Saturday.
• The first match of the series was washed out after two balls.

Goodbye for now

After the series began on a rather damp squib in the first T20I washout in Rawalpindhi, it has certainly provided plenty of drama and action.

Both sides landed heavy blows to take it right down to the final game of the series.

If New Zealand won, they would have come away with a 3-1 series victory, which would have been highlighted further with the new recruits at hand.

But it wasn’t meant to be as Pakistan held their nerve and used their bowlers judiciously to end up tying the series, which in the end is a fair reflection of how it all went these past few weeks.

We hope you enjoyed our coverage of today’s encounter, and till next time, this is Rohan Sharma signing off on behalf of Al Jazeera.

‘I felt we were 10 runs short but it was still a par score’

Victorious Pakistan captain Azam shared his thoughts: “The fast bowlers were getting swing early on. After the powerplay, Usama got help from the wicket. We did what we felt best according to the situation”

“We used eight bowlers today and four of them were spinners. It becomes difficult when you have so many options.”

“Maddy [Imad] has great experience. If he doesn’t bowl in the powerplay, he can bowl in the middle overs. Usama Mir bowled a brilliant spell today.”

“The new ball came on nicely to the bat. The way we planned, it didn’t go accordingly. I felt we were 10 runs short but it was still a par score.”

“Throughout the series we tried different combinations. We tinkered with the batting order. We tried different bowlers at different stages. We will focus on where we can improve.”

‘To lose the wickets there cost us’

Losing New Zealand skipper Bracewell, provided his thoughts as well: “It is a pretty fair reflection of the series [the tied result]. It has been close fought. Happy to come here and learn to play in these different conditions. Credit to Pakistan for winning the game.”

“We lost a couple of wickets there in the middle. Shaheen and Usama bowled particularly well. To lose the wickets there cost us.”

“We take a huge amount of positives [from the series]. To expose the guys to certain world class players [and] always good to take experience from playing in different conditions and against a quality side.”

“You are playing against some great players and different conditions from home. How we adapted from game to game is also pretty special.”

‘I try to mix things up but [the] yorker is the best ball in this format’

Shaheen, for his four for 30, is adjudged Player of the Match and had this to say at the post-match presenation: “Whatever is happening, it’s good for the team. I try to strike with the ball [and] also try to contribute with the bat and in the field.”

“The ball was keeping a bit low and so we focused on bowling wicket-to-wicket and it worked. When the ball is reversing, I try to mix things up but [the] yorker is the best ball in this format.”

Pakistan square series with nine-run victory

It all looked improbable when New Zealand started so brightly in the first half of this innings.

Despite getting Blundell out early, Seifert and Bracewell put on 76 for the second wicket to steer the ship.

New Zealand were well ahead of the equation at that point when they reached 97 for two.

But that is when Pakistan’s spinners and Shaheen came roaring back, taking wickets at regular intervals as New Zealand’s innings began to crumble.

In the space of 72 runs, New Zealand lost eight further wickets.

Shaheen’s four for 30 and Usama’s two for 21 were the standout performances from the bowlers.

Spinners have been brilliant today 👏 #PAKvNZ | #AaTenuMatchDikhawan pic.twitter.com/S4tGPAYG7E — Pakistan Cricket (@TheRealPCB) April 27, 2024

WICKET! O’Rourke run out! New Zealand 169 all out

Amir delivers a slower one across Clarkson which he can’t get away.

Off the next ball, he does get him away through mid-on.

Once again, Clarkson wants the strike, but O’Rourke was no way near his end when Amir whips off the bails.

Pakistan win by 10 runs to set the Gaddafi crowd alight!

WICKET! Sears run out! New Zealand 168-9

Amir is tasked with bowling the final over.

He delivers a wide to Sears.

Clarkson calls for the run as he is desperate to get on strike.

Usman sees this and quickly throws to the non-striker’s, where Sears is well short of his crease when the bails are whipped off.

New Zealand have Clarkson on strike but just one wicket left.

O’Rourke is the new batter.

19 overs. New Zealand 167-8

Abbas finishes with a yorker just outside off which Clarkson is unable to get away.

New Zealand need 12 to win so we could see a potential Super Over!

Clarkson hammers six!

Abbas back into the attack.

Clarkson edges the match in New Zealand’s favour as he clubs a massive blow over midwicket.

The crowd is deathly silent now as they just need 15 off 10.

18 overs. New Zealand 157-8

Sears picks up a rather fortuitous boundary as he digs out a yorker on middle and leg.

The ball continues through fine leg for four.

Clarkson then ends the over with a slap through extra cover to register another.

New Zealand now need 22 off 12, so Azam will be nervous.

Amir back on

Amir brought back into the attack.

He does well to just allow the one run off his first three balls, which is appreciated generously by the partisan crowd.

17 overs. New Zealand 146-8

Clarkson is able to collect a four with a pull through deep midwicket.

The fielder gets to it, but can’t steer it away from hitting the rope.

Shaheen ends his spell with four for 30.

New Zealand need 33 off 18.

Review for leg before

Sears gets a fullish length, and just like Sodhi is unable to get bat on ball.

Shaheen goes up again, but this time the umpire is unmoved.

Pakistan decide to review late, but replays confirm impact was outside leg.

WICKET! Sodhi LBW! New Zealand 137-8

Shaheen is showing why he is considered one of the best in the world.

Bowling round the wicket, Sodhi tries to keep out another fullish length, but misses the ball.

Shaheen goes up right away for leg before, and the umpire deems it so.

New Zealand call for a review, but once again no bat on it, and the ball was going to hit the stumps.

Pakistan are just two wickets away from tying the series.

Sears’s turn now to face the music.

16 overs. New Zealand 137-7

Shadab continues from his end.

Clarkson spoils the mood of the crowd with a massive six over long on.

It brings the equation now to 42 off 24, so still very much possible for the visitors if Clarkson can stay till the end.

15 overs. New Zealand 128-7

Sodhi is able to keep out the hat-trick ball from Shaheen.

From 97 for 2, New Zealand are suddenly 128 for 7.

It is also the first time Pakistan have used eight bowlers in a T20I.

WICKET! Foulkes bowled! New Zealand 125-7

Shaheen goes round the wicket to the new batter, and delivers the perfect yorker.

It is too good for Foulkes, and the wickets are sent tumbling.

Shaheen now on a hat-trick as Gaddafi roars in delight.

With that dismissal, Sodhi walks to join Clarkson.

WICKET! Neesham caught! New Zealand 125-6

Shaheen delivers a shortish length which Neesham attempts to hit down the ground.

He instead top-edges another chance, with Shadab this time completing it.

Huge wicket for the hosts as no boundary rope is too far for Neesham once well set.

The new batter will be Foulkes.

Neesham dropped

Shaheen into the attack.

Neesham goes for the lofted shot through deep midwicket.

It looks to be going straight to Iftikhar at deep midwicket, but at the last second, he realises he is too far in as he begins back-peddling.

But it is too late as the ball bursts through his hands and continues onto the rope to make it a boundary.

14 overs. New Zealand 121-5

Despite giving up 13 runs in this over, Usama finishes with figures of two for 21, so his captain will be plenty pleased with that effort.

New Zealand need 58 off 36, so all results possible at the moment.

Clarkson gets first-ball boundary

Usama into his final over.

He drifts one outside off, which allows Clarkson to lean forward and drive it through extra cover for four.

13 overs. New Zealand 108-5

Neesham may be the answer here for the visitors.

He smashes one down long off which races to the boundary.

Imad ends his over with just five off it.

It will be a parade of spinners, I imagine, as we go deeper into the innings.

WICKET! McConchie LBW! New Zealand 103-5

Imad into the attack and delivers first ball as he gets McConchie leg before wicket.

The umpire straightaway raises his finger, kicking off scenes of euphoria.

But New Zealand, maybe more out of desperation than anything, call for a review.

Replays confirm there was no bat on it, and ball tracking shows the ball hitting the stumps, so McConchie is soon on his way.

In the space of six runs, New Zealand have lost three wickets.

Clarkson is the new batter.

12 overs. New Zealand 103-4

Neesham picks the gap at deep midwicket to add four more runs off the final ball.

It brings up the team 100 hundred, as well.

New Zealand now need 76 off 48, but if Pakistan continue to pick up wickets, it will be a tough task.

The match is delicately placed for a close finish.

Billie Eilish announces Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour, New Zealand snubbed

Grammy Award-winning pop star Billie Eilish has announced she’ll tour her upcoming studio album Hit Me Hard And Soft around the world - but her Kiwi fans are disappointed to see she hasn’t included any New Zealand dates on the itinerary.

Promoter Frontier Touring announced her 2024 and 2025 tour dates for Australia, the US, Europe, the UK and Ireland today, with tickets going on presale on May 1 and the general sale starting on May 3.

The Australian leg of the tour will kick off in February 2025 before she heads to Europe and the UK.

Fans quickly picked up on the fact that she did not include a New Zealand tour date in the announcement.

“You’re really going to skip New Zealand like that huh,” one commented, while another simply wrote “NEW ZEALAND!!!”

The Australian tour dates include four shows at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre next year, as well as four at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena and four more at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne.

A press release from Live Nation read: “All shows have been announced and will go on sale on Friday, May 3 – no further Australian shows to be added. Get in fast to avoid disappointment!”

Eilish last performed in New Zealand in 2022 , in one of the first major concerts to take place following the Covid-19 lockdowns. The pop star played three shows at a packed Spark Arena in Auckland, telling her Kiwi fans: “It’s nice to be back. This feels good.”

The latest tour announcement is a disappointing one for her New Zealand fans – and comes after megastar Taylor Swift skipped Aotearoa on her Eras tour , which saw countless Kiwis fork out thousands for tickets and flights to her Australia shows in February.

When Swift’s tour was first announced, it was rumoured that the country didn’t have a big enough venue to hold her 90-metre-long stage, while others theorised that she wouldn’t have sold enough tickets to justify the cost of bringing her tour here.

Ahead of her Melbourne shows, The Eden Park Trust chief executive officer Nick Sautner told the Herald that space wasn’t an issue , saying, “Eden Park has proven it can accommodate any stage or production and 60,000 fans”, adding he had no doubt the venue would have “sold out multiple shows”.

Sautner said it ultimately came down to resource consent. “In 2020, our resource consent permitted Eden Park to hold up to six concerts in any 12-month period.”

He explained that the limit itself was not an issue, but promoters often required multiple concert dates to accommodate demand.

“Our current consent doesn’t make this possible, which means artists are bypassing New Zealand and fans are missing out,” he said at the time.

Eden Park has used up its quota of six shows this year with artists Pink and Coldplay performing several shows at the sporting venue.

Belgium's Manon De Roey cruised to her second Ladies European Tour title after a dominant four-shot victory at the South Africa Women's Open on Sunday.

She led by three shots on 14-under par before the start of play, and managed to take on the windy conditions at Erinvale carding an even-par round of 70 to claim her second title.

De Roey started well and carded her first birdie of the day on the par-5 seventh before dropping a shot after missing the green on the par-3 eighth whilst Morocco's Ines Laklalech and Sweden's Lisa Pettersson dropped shots early on.

De Roey managed to recover thanks to a birdie in front of the clubhouse on the ninth which took her lead to five whilst Pettersson and Laklalech found trouble on the same hole.

As victory loomed, De Roey made eight straight pars in a row before dropping a shot on the 18th after three-putting the par-4.

Airlines must cough up cancellation cash and can no longer hide fees under new federal rule

A federal rule announced Wednesday will require airlines to quickly give cash refunds — without lengthy arguments — to passengers whose flights have been canceled or seriously delayed, the Biden administration said.

“Passengers deserve to get their money back when an airline owes them — without headaches or haggling,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a statement.

The rule from the Transportation Department says passengers who decline other reimbursement like travel credits are to get cash refunds.

It applies when a flight is canceled or has a “significant change,” the administration said.A “significant change” includes when departure or arrival times are three or more hours different from the scheduled times for domestic flights or six hours for international flights, and when the airport is changed or connections are added, it said.

Passengers are also to get refunds when their baggage is 12 hours late in delivery for domestic flights.

The new rule comes after promises to hold airlines accountable after major disruptions that made travel hell for passengers, including the 2022 Southwest Airlines meltdown , which resulted in almost 17,000 significantly delayed or canceled flights and a missing baggage nightmare.

The Transportation Department said that the new rule means refunds are automatic and that "airlines must automatically issue refunds without passengers having to explicitly request them or jump through hoops."

Also announced Wednesday was a rule requiring airlines to more clearly disclose so-called junk fees upfront, such as surprise baggage or other fees, the department said.

It said that rule is expected to save fliers around $500 million a year.

The surprise fees are used so tickets look cheaper than they really are, and then fliers get the unwelcome surprise of fees on checked bags, carry-on bags or reservation changes — or even discounts that are advertised but apply to only part of the ticket price, officials said.

Airlines will also have to tell fliers clearly that their seats are guaranteed and that they don't have to pay extra to ensure they have seats for flights, according to the Transportation Department.

Airlines for America, an industry trade group, said that its member airlines “offer transparency and vast choice to consumers from first search to touchdown” and that they do offer cash refunds.

The 11 largest U.S. airlines returned $10.9 billion in cash refunds last year, an increase over $7.5 billion in 2019 but slightly down from $11.2 billion in 2022, the group said.

“U.S. airlines are providing more options and better services while ticket prices, including ancillary revenues, are at historic lows,” Airlines for America said.

Left out of the federal changes announced Wednesday are those involving "family seating fees," but the Transportation Department said in a statement that "DOT is planning to propose a separate rule that bans airlines from charging these junk fees."

Travelers have complained to the Transportation Department that children weren’t seated next to accompanying adults, including in some cases young children, department officials said last year.

Fees on bags specifically have made up an increasing amount of airline revenues, the Transportation Department said Wednesday in announcing the new rules.

A Transportation Department analysis found that airline revenue from baggage fees increased 30% from 2018 to 2022, while operating revenue — which is from the flights themselves — increased by only half that amount, the department said.
