Blippi Returns to Southern California with Interactive Concert Experience
Round Room Live and Moonbug Entertainment have announced the Be Like Blippi Tour, bringing the beloved children’s entertainer back to live stages across North America starting in Spring 2026. The tour stops at Great Park Live in Irvine, California on Saturday, April 25, 2026.
PSQ Productions presents the show locally as part of its Irvine Nights Series. Tickets go on sale December 19 at 10 a.m. PST through greatparklive.com, with pre-sales starting Thursday, December 18 at 10 a.m. PST.
What Parents Can Expect from the Show
The production targets children ages 2 through 7. Blippi and his co-star Meekah appear on stage through professional performers selected specifically for touring productions. The show runs as an interactive concert featuring movement, music, and audience participation.
Several popular songs from the YouTube series make appearances. “The Excavator Song” headlines the setlist. “Monster Truck,” “Dino Dance,” and “Curious Like Me” round out the fan favorites. Kids can sing along, dance in their seats, and respond to prompts from the stage performers.
Stephen Shaw, Founder and Co-CEO of Round Room Live, explained the tour’s appeal. “Blippi has become a beloved friend to millions of families, and this new tour gives kids the chance to sing, dance, and explore right alongside Blippi and Meekah — creating joyful memories that will last a lifetime.”
Music Takes Center Stage in New Format
Susan Vargo, Head of Experiences at Moonbug Entertainment, stressed the musical focus. “Music has always been at the heart of what makes Blippi so joyful, and Be Like Blippi brings that energy to life in an even bigger way,” Vargo said. “This new show invites families to channel their inner Blippi through music, movement, and curiosity.”
The format differs from traditional children’s theater. Instead of a narrative storyline, the show strings together musical numbers and interactive segments. Think concert rather than play. The production encourages kids to move like Blippi, play like Blippi, and explore like Blippi — leaning into physical participation rather than passive viewing.
Global Success Drives Continued Touring
Blippi touring productions have reached audiences worldwide. Previous tours covered North America, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Millions of families have attended live Blippi events since the franchise began stage productions.
The character started as a YouTube creation and exploded into a global brand. Blippi now reaches more than 100 million fans worldwide and generates over two billion monthly YouTube views. Moonbug Entertainment acquired the franchise in 2020 and expanded it into consumer products, music releases, and live events.
Content appears in more than 20 languages, including American Sign Language (ASL). Distribution spans over 65 platforms, making Blippi one of the most accessible preschool properties in digital entertainment.
Photo Opportunities and VIP Additions
Families can upgrade their experience with a Photo Experience add-on. This option lets attendees take pictures alongside the Blippi stage performer. Each person needs both a standard show ticket and a separate Photo Experience ticket. Adults must accompany children for photo sessions.
The tour organizers encourage attendees to wear orange glasses — Blippi’s signature accessory. The show promotes curiosity as its central theme, asking kids to “ignite that spark of curiosity that lives inside every single one of us.”
