HILLTOP HOODS ‘NEVER COMING HOME’ 2026 AUSTRALIAN TOUR

AHEAD OF NEW ALBUM ‘FALL FROM THE LIGHT’ DROPPING AUG 1

Australian hip-hop royalty Hilltop Hoods are returning in full force, today announcing their Never Coming Home national tour – a run of capital city arena shows set to shake stages in early 2026.

With their signature blend of powerful lyricism, infectious beats and razor-sharp production, the Hoods are gearing up to deliver an unforgettable live experience – bringing their famed raw energy and full-scale arena show to six major cities across the country. Kicking things off in Hobart at Mystate Bank Arena on Feb 14, the tour will move to Adelaide for a hometown show at the Entertainment Centre on Feb 21, Qudos Bank Arena (Sydney), Rod Laver Arena (Melbourne), and Entertainment Centre (Brisbane), before wrapping at RAC Arena (Perth) on March 21.

Celebrating the upcoming release of their brand new studio album, Fall From the Light (dropping August 1), fans will be among the first to hear new material performed live, alongside the classic anthems that have defined Hilltop Hoods as one of Australia’s most iconic live acts.

Hyped to play their first national run since their acclaimed and fully sold out 2022 Show Business Tour, Suffa from band said: “Over the last few years we stepped back from touring to complete our album. Now that it’s done we can’t wait to get back on the road. In a lot of ways we’re more energised than ever and have been putting together a show that we’re really proud of and excited to share.”

Produced by One Above with additional production by Sesta and Suffa, Fall From The Light was recorded in Adelaide, Darwin, Melbourne and New Zealand. The 12-track album features the 2025 lead single ‘The Gift’ feat. Marlon’, recent fan-favourite single ‘Don’t Happy, Be Worry’ and the Gold accredited ‘Laced Up’. Additional collaborations on Fall From The Light include New Zealand group SIX60 and Australian songstress Nyassa.

Their unparalleled career speaks for itself – over 89 Platinum accreditations, 1.1 million album sales and over 1.8 billion global streams, six #1 albums, the most entries into triple j’s Hottest 100 for an Australian Artist, ten ARIA award wins, and multiple sold-out Arena tourssolidifying the Hilltop Hoods as one of the country’s most successful names in music, period.

The labels are numerous: “Platinum Selling”, “Multi-ARIA Winning”, “Sold Out Arena Tours” – yet at the end of the day, Hilltop Hoods’ resolve remains the same. The music they make is done with the intent to connect and last with fans, regardless of age, background, or creed; time and time again, their formula pays dividends and then some.

Their sphere of influence has extended into international markets, with the Hoods having maintained a strong presence throughout the UK, Europe, Canada and North America; a performance career that has included peak sets at Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Openair Frauenfeld, and Summerjam to name a few.

The trio are synonymous with working with up-and-coming artists whether on tour or in the studio. Ecca Vandal, Ruel, Adrian Eagle, Nyassa and Montaigne, to name just a few.

In 2020 they released the fundraising single ‘I’m Good?’, which was recorded in isolation during quarantine and has so far helped raise OVER $630,000 in much needed aid for SUPPORT ACT’s‘Roadies (Crew) Fund’ and in 2023, they headlined Now & Forever, the all-ages, all-inclusive concert in support of The Voice referendum’s Yes Campaign.

Trailblazers in a genre that eventually married the underground with commercial success, setting a blueprint for waves of contemporaries to follow, the group’s legacy is undeniable.
