Tadpole's return to the spotlight has been eagerly awaited by fans, with rumours running high since the re-release of the bands' debut The Buddhafinger album on vinyl in 2023. Now in 2024, as the triple platinum-selling band celebrates the 21st anniversary and vinyl release of The Medusa album, they're ready to deliver unforgettable performances that will reignite the passion of rock music lovers across New Zealand.

With a voice that captivates and a stage presence that commands attention, Emma is poised to carry on Tadpole's legacy with grace and power. Her unique blend of rock, pop, and hip hop influences promises to breathe new life into Tadpole's classic hits while staying true to the band's iconic sound.

"I'm beyond excited to join forces with Tadpole and hit the road this winter," says Emma. "To be entrusted with carrying on the legacy of such an iconic band is an honour, and I can't wait to share the stage with my incredibly talented bandmates and rock out with fans across the country."

In celebration of this iconic team-up, Emma Dilemma has also dropped a new song today; a cover of Tadpole's "Alright" produced by Emma and The Response (Victoria & Andrew Knopp).
