Fall From the Light, arriving Aug. 1 via Island Records/UMA, marks the ARIA-winning trio's first album in six years following 2019's The Great Expanse, which debuted at No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart and broke records as the band's sixth consecutive chart-topper. The new LP promises collaborations with SIX60, Nyassa and Marlon, and includes recent singles 'The Gift,' 'Don't Happy, Be Worry,' and 'Laced Up.' Their latest release, 'Never Coming Home,' drops this week.
'This album has been an exercise in patience,' Suffa (Matt Lambert) said in a statement. 'Six years is a long time between albums, but we've never been so thorough, so pedantic with an album before. The result is something carefully crafted with extreme attention to detail.'
Pressure (Daniel Smith) added, 'We put more years into it than any other album because we wanted it to be our best work to date. Putting it out after so long feels monumental and exciting.'
The Never Coming Home tour marks Hilltop Hoods' first Australian headline trek since 2022's Show Business Tour, which followed a global run and pandemic-era singles like 'I'm Good?' that connected deeply with fans. Formed in Adelaide in 1994, Suffa, Pressure, and DJ Debris (Barry Francis) have built a career as one of Australia's most celebrated groups, with six ARIA No. 1 albums, 10 ARIA Awards, and over one million records sold in their homeland.
Internationally, the group's influence has grown steadily, with U.S. tours in 2014 and 2019, and plans to bring Never Coming Home to European and U.K. audiences later this year.
Hilltop Hoods made history in 2006 as the first Australian hip-hop act to top the ARIA Albums Chart with The Hard Road.

Chrishell Stause marries G Flip for the fourth time
Chrishell Stause and her partner G Flip have once again tied the knot. This time, the pair enjoyed an epic, medieval-themed bash surrounded by their closest friends and loved ones at a castle venue in Los Angeles. Stause donned a white gown with a lace-up corset, while Aussie musician G Flip played the role of a dashing knight. The Selling Sunset alum wrote over the invitation, which bore an image of a castle, "Lots of gay merriment to happen later today!" Stause and G Flip (full name Georgia Flipo) secretly tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022 before renewing their vows in Palm Springs a year later. Stause and the non-binary rocker renewed their vows for a second time in Melbourne, Australia, in July 2024. "We promised we're going to do it every year," the Daytime Emmy nominee explained to E! News in 2023. Before their latest nuptials, Stause shared an update on the couple's journey towards parenthood, confirming she was trying IVF one more time. The TV star wrote, "If it's meant to be, it will be. If not, pivot." G Flip has been candid about their desire for children in the past. "I definitely see children in my future," the drummer said on the People Every Day podcast. "I've always loved kids. One day that'll be in the future."

Jack Conan reveals video from Katie Taylor inspired Lions before second Test win
Jack Conan has revealed that an inspiring video from Irish boxing great Katie Taylor helped the British and Irish Lions find the resilience needed to close out their series against Australia. Taylor, an Olympic gold medal winner and current undisputed world super lightweight champion, sent the good luck message to Andy Farrell's squad in the build-up to Saturday's second Test at Melbourne Cricket Club. The 39-year-old's words on the ability to dig deep turned out to be prophetic as the Lions emerged 29-26 winners after fighting back from an 18-point deficit. 'The video was unbelievably poignant and powerful. It spoke about being prepared to win with skill, but also being ready to win by will,' said Ireland number eight Conan, who like Taylor hails from Bray in County Wicklow. 'That was something that was massively summed up in the game because we were not at our best at all. 'It's huge because she comes from the town I'm from. I'm incredibly proud of where I come from and I know Katie is as well. 'She's gone on to achieve incredible feats in the boxing world. To be such a superstar, incredibly humble and driven is something that we leant on as well because we knew that Australia are a hugely proud nation and they showed it in spades. 'Everyone loved it, even the English and the Scottish boys and the Welsh boy – it resonated with everyone. It was unbelievably poignant, it was class. It really hit home for us.' It took a beautifully-taken try by Hugo Keenan with 51 seconds remaining to separate the rivals in one of the greatest Lions matches ever played. Remarkably, Keenan's touchdown was the first time they led in the match. Conan admits that victory tastes all the sweeter for having been taken to the wire as Australia raised their game to a whole new level a week after starting the series with a whimper in Brisbane. 'We were not at our best by any measure, but physically the lads dug in unbelievably well,' he said. 'It was disappointing how we played, but we played for 80 minutes. Hugo getting over the line in the last minute was just unbelievable. 'It wasn't my best game. A lot of us weren't at the races at all, but we stuck in there. You can't fault the effort. I thought the defensive sets we put in, just whacking people and just staying in there, was unbelievable. 'It's something that will go down in history. They won't be writing the history books about how s*** we were, but they'll say that we won and that's all that matters. 'Everyone's over the moon. To be part of a Lions winning series team is incredibly special. The celebrations in the changing room wouldn't have been the same if we'd won by 20.'

Gethin Jones suffering after witnessing 'absolute spectacle' while on break from BBC Morning Live
Welsh TV presenter Gethin Jones has admitted he's 'feeling a bit dusty' after what he described as an unforgettable night for Welsh sport, watching two huge wins unfold back-to-back. The BBC Morning Live star is currently in Melbourne, where he caught both the Wales Women's rugby victory over Australia and the British & Irish Lions' dramatic series-clinching win at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) - a night he dubbed an 'absolute spectacle'. Taking to Instagram, Gethin shared his excitement and also hinted at the celebrations that followed. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter READ MORE: Harry Redknapp's wife Sandra, 78, hospitalised READ MORE: John Torode gives update on marriage with Lisa Faulkner, admits 'changes' He wrote: 'What a night in Melbourne. Watching the women's @welshrugbyunion beat Australia… and then the absolute spectacle at the @mcg – @britishandirishlions clinch the series in dramatic fashion! 'Hats off them! (Wish I had) A bit dusty this morning!' Their win was partly down to Jac Morgan, who helped secure their dramatic win by clearing out Australia's Carlo Tizzano at the breakdown in the dying moments, allowing the team to retain possession and set up Hugo Keenan's match-winning try. You can read more about this here. Gethin is a passionate supporter of Welsh sport and often shares updates from matches, training camps, and major fixtures. But even by his own standards, Saturday night seemed like a night to remember, as Wales Women also stunned the Wallaroos in a nail biting game before the Lions sealed their series. Gethin shared a picture of himself in the crowd alongside some friends, as well as a selfie taken in a bar, with him and two others all beaming at the camera. It's been a busy week for the Welsh presenter, as he visited Cardiff just a few weeks ago to talk about his new role as the Chef de Mission for Team Wales ahead of the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Speaking about his latest venture, he said: 'To be trusted in this role is a huge responsibility and the focus I've seen in the last few months since I've come on board has been mind-blowing. 'Everyone striving for excellence from performance to organisational operations and everything in between has been amazing.' He continued: 'When I see someone achieve their very best performance, when it really matters under pressure, that's what inspires me. 'That will go with us into Glasgow, and of course as it has been the case for the last few cycles as well, what truly matters is how we hold ourselves.' You can read more about his thoughts taking on his new role, and how he is balancing everything here.
