Hilltop Hoods Prep 2026 Arena Tour In Support of 'Fall From the Light'

Hilltop Hoods will embark on a national arena tour next year, in support of their forthcoming ninth studio album Fall From the Light.

The Adelaide hip-hop heavyweights will visit the capitals in 2026 for the Never Coming Home tour, kicking off in Hobart on February 14th before visiting moving on to their hometown, then Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and wrapping up in Perth.

Presented by TEG and Blue Max Music, it'll mark the band’s first headline tour since 2022’s Show Business, and will celebrate their Fall From the Light, due out August 1st via Island Records Australia/UMA.

The winners of 10 ARIA Awards, the trio is blazing away with a chart streak. They've landed five consecutive ARIA No. 1 studio albums: The Hard Road in 2006, State Of The Art in 2009, Drinking From The Sun in 2012, Walking Under Stars in 2014 and The Great Expanse in 2019.

The band's 2016 collection Drinking from the Sun, Walking Under Stars Restrung also led the national chart, meaning these Hoods have six in a row.

The Hoods warmed up with a set at Darwin’s BASSINTHEGRASS, and they’re about to take get venues -- and festivals -- jumping in Europe. But before they jet off, they'll visit Townsville for a a spot headlining the new street-style festival One Street One Day on July 26th.

Produced by One Above with additional production from Sesta and Suffa, Fall From the Light was recorded across Adelaide, Darwin, Melbourne and New Zealand. Spanning 12 tracks, the collection features collaborations with Kiwi hitmakers SIX60, rising singer Nyassa, and former AFL star Marlon Motlop, who appears on the lead single “The Gift”.

“This album has been an exercise in patience,” says founding member Suffa. “Six years is a long time between albums, but there’s a good reason for that… There was a lot happening, in the world and in our lives. But it turns out (from my perspective anyway), that time was the album’s strength, not its weakness.”

“We’ve never been so thorough, so pedantic with an album before,” he adds. “The result is something that’s been carefully crafted with an extreme attention to detail. It’s an album that we’re really proud of, and a body of music that we can’t wait to share with everyone.”

“After the longest period between albums, I’m so proud to be able to finally release this body of work to our listeners,” added DJ Debris. “And really can’t wait to deliver these new tunes live.”

The album will be released on CD, cassette, and limited-edition 180-gram coloured vinyl featuring special gatefold packaging and an obi-strip for collectors. Official Fall From the Light merch will also be available through the band’s store, JB Hi-Fi, and select retailers.
