MUCH-loved children's group Hi-5 want the rock star treatment from their adoring fans when they hit the road for a concert tour in November.

The all-singing, all-dancing quintet certainly provoke the same volume of hysterical screams and the occasional torrent of tears from their young fans.

"We have our own Hi-5 fever when the children get so excited they can't even stand still anymore so they just run around and scream as loud as they can," Lauren Brant said.

"And some of the real little ones get so scared and burst into tears.

"I am always being asked 'Are you real? How did you get out of the TV?'"

The enduring preschool popsters have been based in Singapore filming the next series.

The House Party tour, which will feature their greatest "hits" and preview new songs, will also be the first concerts featuring new members Dayen Zheng, Ainsley Melham and Mary Lascaris.

Brant said she expected the group's male members Stevie Nicholson and Melham to prove to be as much of a hit with the mums as with their kids.

"It depends on who the mums like. Stevie with his blond looks and Ainslie is younger and has that Italian look," she said.

Tickets on sale from August 26.

Hi-5 perform at Karralyka Centre, Ringwood on November 1, Clocktower Centre, Moonee Ponds on November 2, The Cube, Campbelltown on November 13, Redcliffe on November 21, Gardens Theatre, Brisbane, November 22 and 23, Panthers Evan Theatre, Penrith on November 27, Revesby Workers Club on November 29 and The Concourse, Chatswood on November 30 and December 1.
