Famed Australian children's band, The Wiggles, will be headlining an upcoming dance festival for kids this summer.

Anthony, John, Tsehay and DJ Dorothy will be performing at the Sound System Dance Party at Baypark Arena on January 5.

Event promoter Mitch Lowe says there's a market for events catering to younger audiences. 

"The reception's been crazy - we've had 500 people sign up in the last 3-4 hours."
