Gearing up for the release of their hotly anticipated ninth studio album, Fall From The Light, Aussie hip hop legends Hilltop Hoods have announced a six-date capital city tour taking place across February and March 2026.

The Never Coming Home Tour is the Hoods’ first national run of shows since their sold-out 2022 Show Business Tour, with Suffa having this to say about their upcoming concerts, “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.”

Fans can expect to hear tracks from the Hoods’ new album Fall From the Light (dropping August 1), along with all their classic hits, including ‘Nosebleed Section’, ‘I Love It’, ‘1955’, ‘Chase That Feeling’ and more.

Hilltop Hoods’ Never Coming Home Tour begins at Hobart’s Mystate Bank Arena on Saturday 14 February and continues with performances at Adelaide’s AEC Arena on Saturday 21 February, Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Saturday 28 February, Melbounre’s Rod Laver Arena on Saturday 7 March and Brisbane’s Entertianment Centre on Saturday 14 March, before coming to an end at Perth’s Roc Arena on Saturday 21 March.

Pre-sale tickets go on sale Monday 14 July at 8:30am local time for those signed up to the Hoods mailing list. General on sale begins Thursday 17 July at 9:30am local time. For all the details, visit hilltophoods.com.

Arriving August 1 via Island Records/UMA, Fall From The Light was recorded in Adelaide, Darwin, Melbourne and New Zealand and comprises 12 tracks, including lead single ‘The Gift’ featuring Marlon, ‘Don’t Happy, Be Worry’ and ‘Laced Up’.

Produced by One Above, with additional work by Sesta and Suffa, Fall From the Light includes collaborations with Kiwi group SIX60 and Australian songstress Nyassa.

“This album has been an exercise in patience. 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 albums strength, not its weakness,” explains Suffa.

“We’ve never been so thorough, so pedantic with an album before. 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.”

Pressure adds: “We really took our time with this one. 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.”

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

Fall From The Light will be available as a limited edition 180-gram 2LP coloured vinyl, with the first pressing coming with a special gatefold design. CD and tape versions of the album, along with official merch, will also be up for grabs. Fans can pre-order from here.
