Australian hip-hop heavyweights Hilltop Hoods are making a triumphant return to the stage with their “Never Coming Home” national tour, set to electrify arenas across the country in early 2026.
Following a six-year hiatus since their last studio album, the trio is back with renewed energy and a fresh sound, promising an unforgettable live experience for fans old and new.
The tour kicks off on February 14 at Hobart’s Mystate Bank Arena, before hitting major cities including Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and concluding in Perth on March 21. This marks the group’s first national tour since their acclaimed 2022 “Show Business” run, and anticipation is building rapidly.
Melbourne audiences can catch them at Rod Laver Arena on Saturday 7 March 2026.
Coinciding with the tour is the release of their ninth studio album, “Fall From the Light,” dropping on August 1, 2025. The album features collaborations with New Zealand’s SIX60, Australian singer Nyassa, and former AFL player turned musician Marlon Motlop. Tracks like “The Gift,” “Don’t Happy, Be Worry,” and the gold-accredited “Laced Up” showcase the Hoods’ signature blend of introspective lyrics and infectious beats.
Suffa, one-third of the group, shared his excitement: “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.”
Tickets for the “Never Coming Home” tour go on sale to the general public on Thursday, July 17 at 10am local time, with a presale beginning Monday, July 14 at 9am for those subscribed to the Hilltop Hoods mailing list. For more information and to secure your spot, visit hilltophoods.com.
