Hilltop Hoods have detailed their first headlining Australian tour in three-and-a-half years, with the Never Going Home tour announced for February 2026. The tour comes in support of the trio’s upcoming ninth studio album Fall From The Light, which is set for release next month on Friday, August 1st. The full list of tour dates, as well as ticketing information, can be found below.

“Over the last few years, we’ve stepped back from touring to complete our album,” said co-frontman Matthew Lambert – AKA Suffa MC. “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.” The Hoods last toured Australia in September 2022, in support of their then-recent single ‘Show Business’ – which featured 2000s one-hit-wonder Eamon on vocals.

The first indication of a new studio album from the multi-platinum Adelaide group came in 2023, with the release of the new single ‘Laced Up’. Minimal activity followed the release of the single, however, save for an appearance at that year’s Yours & Owls and Now & Forever fesitvals. In September 2024, the Hoods were announced on the line-up for Bluesfest‘s final/not-final festival in April 2025. Two months before that appearance, a new single entitled ‘The Gift’ was released.

Fall From The Light is also set to feature appearances from frequent collaborator Nyassa, as well as New Zealand band Six60 on the tour’s titular track ‘Never Going Home’. The song is set to be released as the album’s fourth single on Friday, with a new music premiering at 8am AEST that morning.
