Hilltop Hoods Unveils Exciting Arena Tour Across Australia

Renowned Australian hip-hop group Hilltop Hoods has unveiled an exciting national arena tour for early 2026, in honor of their much-anticipated ninth studio album Fall From the Light, set to drop on August 1st through Island Records Australia/UMA.

The ‘Never Coming Home’ Tour

This upcoming tour will showcase the group’s electrifying live performance in capital city arenas across Australia, beginning in Hobart on February 14th. The trio will also be hitting Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth. This marks their first headline tour since the ‘Show Business’ run in 2022, and comes after an energetic few months on stage.

Recent Performances

Fans last saw Hilltop Hoods delivering an unforgettable set at Darwin’s BASSINTHEGRASS festival, and they’re gearing up to carry that momentum into Europe, where they’ll promote the new album through a series of summer festival appearances. Before heading overseas, they will headline the new street-style festival, One Street One Day, in Townsville on July 26th.

Album Details

The album Fall From the Light was produced by One Above, with additional contributions from Sesta and Suffa, and recorded across various locales, including Adelaide, Darwin, Melbourne, and New Zealand. This 12-track project features exciting collaborations with Kiwi sensation SIX60, up-and-coming artist Nyassa, and former AFL star Marlon Motlop on the lead single, “The Gift.”

Thoughts from the Band

“This album has been an exercise in patience,” explained Suffa. “It’s been six years since our last release, but there’s an important reason for that. A lot has happened, both globally and personally. Ultimately, I believe that this time has strengthened the album rather than weakened it.”

He added, “We’ve never put this much detail into an album before. The result is a carefully crafted body of work that we’re extremely proud of and excited to share.” DJ Debris expressed similar sentiments, stating, “It feels amazing to finally present this collection to our listeners, and I can’t wait to perform these new tracks live.”

Release Formats and Merch

Fans can look forward to the album being available on CD, cassette, and a special edition 180-gram colored vinyl complete with unique gatefold packaging and an obi-strip for collectors. Official Fall From the Light merchandise will also be offered through the band’s store, JB Hi-Fi, and select retailers.

Tour Ticket Sales

Tickets for the ‘Never Coming Home’ national tour will go on sale on Thursday, July 17th at 10 AM local time. There will be pre-sale access from Monday, July 14th, available for mailing list subscribers.

The upcoming single “Never Coming Home,” featuring SIX60, is set to be released this Friday, July 11th.
