Don Toliver & Sheck Wes Fall From the Light, arriving Aug. 1 via Island Records/UMA, marks the ARIA-winning trio's first album in six years following 2019's The Great Expanse, which debuted at No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart and broke records as the band's sixth consecutive chart-topper. The new LP promises collaborations with SIX60, Nyassa and Marlon, and includes recent singles 'The Gift,' 'Don't Happy, Be Worry,' and 'Laced Up.' Their latest release, 'Never Coming Home,' drops this week. 'This album has been an exercise in patience,' Suffa (Matt Lambert) said in a statement. 'Six years is a long time between albums, but we've never been so thorough, so pedantic with an album before. The result is something carefully crafted with extreme attention to detail.' Pressure (Daniel Smith) added, 'We put more years into it than any other album because we wanted it to be our best work to date. Putting it out after so long feels monumental and exciting.' The Never Coming Home tour marks Hilltop Hoods' first Australian headline trek since 2022's Show Business Tour, which followed a global run and pandemic-era singles like 'I'm Good?' that connected deeply with fans. Formed in Adelaide in 1994, Suffa, Pressure, and DJ Debris (Barry Francis) have built a career as one of Australia's most celebrated groups, with six ARIA No. 1 albums, 10 ARIA Awards, and over one million records sold in their homeland. Internationally, the group's influence has grown steadily, with U.S. tours in 2014 and 2019, and plans to bring Never Coming Home to European and U.K. audiences later this year. Hilltop Hoods made history in 2006 as the first Australian hip-hop act to top the ARIA Albums Chart with The Hard Road.

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.

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.'

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.
