ARIA Award-winning children’s entertainer Emma Memma has announced a new Toowoomba show as part of her Dance Island Party Tour 2025. This performance will also be the first concert to be filmed for future release.
Families can expect a mix of songs from last year’s Boop and Twirl Tour, along with new favourites from the Dance Island Party! album, including Coconut Tree, Beach Trolley and Jellyfish Blob.
