Hilltop Hoods will score a prime piece of Adelaide real estate later this year, recognition of their record-smashing feats in Australia.
The City of Adelaide today (March 5) announced Clubhouse Lane, a spot just off Hindley Street in the CBD, would be renamed as Hilltop Hoods Lane, one of the ultimate honors for these homegrown heroes.
The Hoods, comprised of Suffa, Pressure and DJ Debris, formed in their teenage years in the Adelaide Hills, and has gone on to shift over 1.1 million albums, 1.9 billion global streams, bag 10 ARIA Awards and six APRA Music Awards, and land the most entries into triple j’s Hottest 100, with 23.
With 2025’s Fall From The Light, the act landed their seventh No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, for their seventh leader (and sixth straight) — the most by an Australian group, placing them ahead of AC/DC, Powderfinger, Cold Chisel and Silverchair.
Also, their 2003 recording “Nosebleed Section,” from The Calling, the first Australian hip-hip album to be certified platinum, is registered with the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia.
“From early gigs at the Worldsend Hotel and Adelaide UniBar to performing for crowds of 50,000 adoring fans across the globe, Hilltop Hoods embody a familiar Adelaide truth — that great talent starts local and can reach audiences worldwide,” reads a statement from the City of Adelaide. “Their impact on Australian music is undeniable.”
Hilltop Hoods become the sixth act to receive a City of Music laneway honor in the South Australian capital, joining Sia Furler, Cold Chisel, No Fixed Address, Paul Kelly and The Angels.
“We are honored to become a part of Adelaide’s City of Music laneways alongside so many iconic South Australian artists,” comments Suffa in a statement. “We love our city, and this gesture just connects us even further to the place that we call home.”
The Hoods are currently playing arenas around Australia for the Never Coming Home Tour, their biggest jaunt yet, off the back of a U.K. and Europe run last year.
The unveiling of Hilltop Hoods Lane is slated for an unspecified time later in 2026.
