AUSTRALIAN MUSIC ROYALTY TAKE POLE-POSITION AS HILLTOP HOODS HEADLINE SATURDAY bp ADELAIDE GRAND FINAL CONCERT

Adelaide’s own hip-hop superstars Hilltop Hoods will receive a motorsport themed homecoming when they take to the stage for the Saturday After Race Concert – featuring guest artists Ball Park Music, Cyril & Teenage Joans.

Following the success of their ninth studio album and number one ARIA charting ‘Fall From The Light’, Hilltop Hoods will take to the stage at the bp Adelaide Grand Final for a Saturday night live music spectacle on Saturday 28th November.

The trio – comprised of Suffa, Pressure and DJ Debris – boast ten ARIA awards, seven number one chart topping albums and a record number of songs featuring in the annual Triple J Hottest 100 countdown.

Hilltop Hoods’ iconic sound and unprecedented live energy has seen this home-grown export become one of the biggest hip hop acts in the southern hemisphere as well as playing many sold-out world tours and festivals.

They are not to be missed at this year’s bp Adelaide Grand Final, with the concert taking place not far away from the CBD’s recently announced Hilltop Hoods Lane.

Suffa from Hilltop Hoods says: “Earlier in the year we got to launch our new album in Adelaide, and we were reminded of why hometown crowds are so special. That’s just one of the many reasons that we can’t wait to play the Adelaide Grand Final in November alongside an incredible lineup”.

Also performing prior to the Hoods are Brisbane band Ball Park Music who continue to go from strength to strength with their Australian indie hits.

Fresh from their ARIA chart topping album ‘Like Love’ in 2025, the five-piece group have toured across Australia and Europe with their warming and endearing sounds.

Cyril rose to fame with one of the world’s hottest tracks ‘Stumblin’ In’, surging in popularity across TikTok, global streaming platforms and radio charts, reaching number one in Australia, Germany, Poland and New Zealand.

Since then, he has accumulated over 2.3 billion streams on Spotify alone, collaborated with renowned artists Teddy Swims, Wiz Khalifa, Dean Lewis and David Guetta, and is ready to send Adelaide into party fever at the 2026 bp Adelaide Grand Final donning his signature bucket hat.

Alternative music duo Teenage Joans, comprised of Cahli and Tahlia, will provide further music flavour to an evening of vibrant celebrations and epic performances.

The Adelaide punk group have won eight South Australian Music Awards and have already shared the stage with international artists including the Foo Fighters and Amy Shark.
