Hi-5 Holiday is the twelfth tour of the Hi-5 Australian band, that began on the 23rd to the 24th of March 2012 at The Concourse Concert Hall in Chatswood in New South Wales, Australia and later toured Australia and Asia in the year and in early 2013 on the 19th of January at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino in the Philippines.

This tour marks the first appearance of Dayen Zheng as a cast member, replacing Fely Irvine who had already departed from the group in the previous year. The tour also marks the last such tour for Tim Maddren and Casey Burgess, who announced and made their formal departures from the group during the tour's run.

One of the shows in the Australian leg of the tour was filmed and later released on DVD as "Hi-5 Holiday! Live" on November 14th, 2012.

Trivia[]

This tour marks the only time Chats is performed by Teigan Jen, who would also subsequently later audition for Hi-5's next generation cast in the Some Kind Of Wonderful movie, ending up in the top 10 finalists.
The original tour posters for the Australian leg of the tour featured Fely upon initial announcement, but was later replaced with Dayen after the latter's formal introduction into the group.
In the Australian leg and the video recording, brief readapted excerpts of "Party Rock Anthem" is performed by Stevie during the Penguin Dances. However, further in the Asian leg, the dance routines get modified and Tim's penguin dance later becomes the start of a challenge for "Gangnam Style", complete with an excerpt of the actual song recording used.
