Emma Memma Jungle Picnic Tour

The Jungle Picnic tour brings Emma Memma’s much-anticipated new album to life on stage, transforming its playful songs into a joyful, movement-filled live experience for children and their families.

Inspired by the Jungle Picnic album, the show invites audiences to bring their picnic baskets and their pet rocks, jump up and dance with the elephants, sing along to deliciously catchy tunes, and play games alongside Emma Memma and her Memma mates.

Featuring energetic dance moves, get-up-and-dance songs and inclusive storytelling, the performance celebrates imagination, outdoor adventure and shared play.

Designed especially for young children, the tour continues Emma Memma’s signature integration of sign language as a joyful and accessible way to communicate, marking the next chapter in Emma Memma’s live journey as the brand heads into its biggest year yet.

Every Emma Memma live performance is presented with an Auslan interpreter positioned side-of-stage, interpreting the music and storytelling throughout the show.

In addition, Emma Memma and Elvin Melvin sign throughout each performance, ensuring sign language is naturally integrated into the experience rather than treated as an add-on.
