This is the band’s first headline tour since The Great Expanse World Tour in 2019 which saw them play sold-out arenas to over 100,000 fans in 14 different countries. Showing they hadn’t slowed down, that was Hilltop’s biggest and most successful headline tour to date, and the largest tour of any Australian act in 2019.
We reviewed that last Melbourne gig; noting “Watching the trio in this environment serves as a reminder of their important place not just in Australian hip hop, but in Australian music in general. Their show was a well-oiled machine; the setlist taking the audience through a mammoth chunk of a career that has round out its second decade in 2019.” You can read our full review here.
The tour is promoting the release of Hilltop Hoods new single ‘Show Business’ which features US soul singer Eamon.The song is the Adelaide trio’s first offering from a new album since 2018.
Among Hilltop’s credits include 10 ARIA awards, six number-one albums; the most streamed Australian artist on Spotify two years running; sold out arena tours and over 60 platinum accreditations, just to name a few.
