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 “Within five seconds of the trio taking the stage, any uncertainties were debauched with the onslaught of confetti, pyrotechnics, loads of special guests and a high-energy performance which gave the sold-out crowd everything they could want from an arena show.” 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.
