Trivia[]
- The Asian leg of the shows also marks the last Hi-5 concert for Ainsley in that region.
- This Hi-5 concert tour also marks the last time where Chats is played by Jessica Harm.
- Former cast members Tim Harding and Lauren Brant were present at the premiere of the tour at Luna Park.
- During one of the shows in Malaysia, teachers and students from the Malaysian branches of Hi-5's enrichment centres - Hi-5 House of Learning made special appearances on stage and danced with Hi-5 during "Playtime".
- Originally during "L.O.V.E", a customized digital projection was used. However after the announcement of Stevie's departure from the group during the tour, this was changed to a photo montage showcasing Stevie's moments as a presenter on Hi-5 over the years. Additionally, Stevie would also end such shows on with a farewell message and has also provided free meet and greets and signings for fans at the merchandise stands for his then new book/creation - "Superdudes".
- Similarly, in between the two acts originally, Hi-5’s World Vision trip to Myanmar in April 2015 was screened, but would be changed to Stevie’s official farewell video message after his departure announcements.
- Furthermore, his parents were also in attendance during the very last shows in Manila, Philippines.
- During the last show of the tour, members of Hi-5 Philippines came on stage to congratulate Stevie after his farewell message. Furthermore, Mary was also absent for that performance, alongside other shows in Malaysia and the Philippines.
- Hugh Barrington is an understudy for Stevie and Ainsley in some tour dates. And Jessica Harm is also an understudy for Mary.
- Though, Hugh can be seen in the official Hi-5 in all of the Songs Of The Week (House Of Dreams).
