Emma Dilemma

The anticipation among fans has finally been answered: Tadpole, the triple platinum-selling Kiwi rock sensation, is making a return to the stage in 2024, featuring Emma Dilemma on guest vocals. After captivating audiences with numerous hit singles in the early 2000s and leaving an indelible mark on the New Zealand rock music scene, the band is back with a highly anticipated tour alongside Devilskin and Skinny Hobos this winter to celebrate the 21st anniversary and vinyl release of The Medusa album. Fans on social media began speculating in recent years about the possibility of a reunion tour, a dream that is now being realised in 2024. While original vocalist Renee Brennan was not interested in reforming for a tour, her endorsement of newcomer Emma Dilemma as her successor after hearing her sing speaks volumes about Emma's talent. With Renee's blessing, Emma will take over vocal duties for the tour, promising an electrifying performance that stays true to Tadpole's iconic sound. Emma explains, “I couldn't believe it when I got the call; being asked to join a rock band that I admired since they played live at my high school is something I didn't ever consider would even be in the cards for me. I'm beyond honoured to take Renee's reins and breathe life back into these classic kiwi rock tunes out on the road this winter!” "I’m really excited for people to experience Tadpole songs live and loud once again!" says guitarist Chris Yong. "With Emma on board, the Tadpole spirit is strong and this tour is something you won’t want to miss." Joining vocalist Emma Dilemma and Chris Yong is Dino Lawton on drums, Shannon Brown on bass, and DJ Kritikl on the turntables. Together, they are poised to deliver a series of unforgettable shows that will reignite the passion and energy of Tadpole's heyday. Tickets are expected to sell out quickly. Don't miss your chance to witness the resurgence of a Kiwi rock legend.
