Long regarded as Australian hip hop pioneers, the Hilltop Hoods have turned almost every stone of success you presented to them. Yet, they are a group of artists who thrive on a constant curiosity and desire to push themselves in new and fulfilling directions.
Their unparalleled career speaks for itself - over 89 Platinum accreditations, 1.1 million album sales and over 1.8 billion global streams, seven #1 albums, the most entries into triple j’s Hottest 100 for an Australian Artist, ten ARIA award wins, and multiple sold-out Arena tours solidifying the Hilltop Hoods as one of the country’s most successful names in music, period.
The labels are numerous: “Platinum Selling”, “Multi-ARIA Winning”, “Sold Out Arena Tours” – yet at the end of the day, Hilltop Hoods’ resolve remains the same. The music they make is done with the intent to connect and last with fans, regardless of age, background, or creed; time and time again, their formula pays dividends and then some.
Their sphere of influence has extended into international markets, with the Hoods having maintained a strong presence throughout the UK, Europe, Canada and North America; a performance career that has included peak sets at Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Openair Frauenfeld, and Summerjam to name a few.
Trailblazers in a genre that eventually married the underground with commercial success, setting a blueprint for waves of contemporaries to follow, the group’s legacy is undeniable.
