Hilltop Hoods announce huge 2026 comeback tour of Australia
Don't miss out on the headlines from Music. Followed categories will be added to My News. Australian hip hop heroes Hilltop Hoods will make their long-awaited return to the country's biggest stages in February and March next year. The Never Coming Home tour is the latest in a flurry of activity from the award-winning group who next month release Fall From The Light, the first new studio record in six years. The hip hop trailblazers were deluged with 'what about Australia?' comments on social media channels last week from loyal fans when they revealed UK and European tour dates for August ahead of a hometown run. 'Oh, we have heard (all) about it in the comments section which is fine, I understand it – I feel the same with bands that I like,' Suffa said about the protests from local fans. 'It's just the way that it worked out with the physics, the Northern Hemisphere summer, the rotation around the sun and the Gregorian calendar; it's nothing personal.'

Suffa, Pressure and DJ Debris will kick off the tour at the MyState Bank Arena in Hobart on February 14 and then head to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on February 21, Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena on February 28, Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena on March 7, Brisbane Entertainment Centre on March 14 and RAC Arena, Perth on March 21. The hip hop group is one of the biggest Aussie artists of all time, with more than 1.3 billion streams on Spotify alone and one million records sold over the past two decades.

They hold the record for the most tickets sold by an Australian artist at Qudos Bank Arena, with more than 15,000 fans rocking the foundations of the venue during the Great Expanse tour in 2019. Suffa said 'a lot happened' to force the long break between albums and tours, although they have kept the fan fires burning with a succession of singles including So Good?, Show Business and Laced Up. 'I had two young children and a cavoodle, so I had my hands full. And Dan had a young lass as well just before lockdowns. We had young families, Covid happened and a bunch of false starts,' Suffa said. 'It sucked at the time, but I think like as far as the album goes, it was good for it in the long run because we shed a lot of the fat.'

Hoods fans were recently shocked by the group's video for their recent single Don't Happy, Be Worry – because it featured Suffa with hair for the first time in his career. And no, he hasn't had a transplant – he just always hid under a cap. 'That's my real head! That's the only film clip I've ever done without a hat and the amount of people that have said to me, 'I thought you were bald!' I just wear a hat which means I constantly have hat hair,' Suffa said. The Hoods will release the new single Never Coming Home, featuring SIX60, on Friday and tickets for the tour go on sale on July 17 from 10am via Originally published as Hip hop heroes Hilltop Hoods announce comeback to Australian arenas in February and March

Hilltop Hoods Announce Ninth Studio Album ‘Fall From The Light'
Aussie hip-hop icons Hilltop Hoods have announced the imminent arrival of their first album in six years. Dubbed Fall From The Light, the rap trio's ninth studio LP is due to reach our ears on Friday, 1st August. The forthcoming record is packing 12 tracks, including 2025 lead single 'The Gift' ft. Marlon, recent fan-fave 'Don't Happy, Be Worry' and the Gold-certified 'Laced Up'. It was produced by the Hoods' long-time collaborator One Above (also Illy, Allday, KLP) with additional prod by Sesta and the group's own Suffa, and features bonus collabs from New Zealand group SIX60 and Aussie songstress Nyassa. We're told the ambitious LP was recorded across Adelaide, Darwin, Melbourne and New Zealand over six years, as the group prioritised quality over efficiency. 'We really took our time with this one,' Hilltop Hoods' MC Pressure comments. 'We put more years into it than any other of our albums because we wanted it to be our best work to date. Putting it out after so long feels more monumental and exciting than ever.' The LP will be available on Limited Edition 180-gram 2LP coloured vinyl across a range of spicy variants, and fans can pre-order 'em now, right here.
