“Australia, thank you so much for your ongoing support. Due to so much demand, we’re adding a second Brisbane show at the Entertainment Centre,” says Suffa. “We’re currently putting together a massive show, and we can’t wait for you all to see it. When these shows come around it will have been ten years since we toured Australia with both Maverick and trials. It feels right to be getting back together with them for the ‘Never Coming Home’ Tour. All three of us are huge fans of both Maverick and trials, and can’t overstate the kind of energy these guys are going to bring to the shows!”

World champion turntablist, DJ Total Eclipse (X-Ecutioners, A.B. Original, Funkoars) is no stranger to the Hoods stage and was the main support on their recent Never Coming Home UK/European headline tour. A man of many talents, he’s just as at home delivering a mind-blowing set as one of the world’s top turntablists as he is energising a crowd of thousands in full party mode.

Grammy-nominated Aaradhna is a soulful and genre-blending singer, songwriter, and producer whose distinctive voice has become a defining presence in New Zealand’s music landscape. She is widely regarded as one of the most influential and significant voices across the Pacific region.

The tour celebrates the release of their formidable new album, ‘Fall From The Light’. Skyrocketing to the top of the charts, ‘Fall From The Light’ became the trio’s seventh #1 ARIA Album and marked the highest first week album sales by an Australian Artist in 2025. Featuring collaborations with SIX60, Nyassa, and Marlon, it includes standout singles The Gift ft. Marlon, Don’t Happy, Be Worry, Never Coming Home ft. SIX60 and Rage Against The Fatigue, the album gives a fresh yet familiar sound from one of Australia’s most iconic acts, a powerful preview of what’s to come on stage.
