Fresh from kicking off their Never Coming Home national tour in Hobart on the weekend, Australian music royalty, Hilltop Hoods have today announced they’ve been busy scouring their garages and personal archives for rare merchandise to host an online auction giving fans the opportunity to get their hands on bespoke and signed memorabilia. Teaming up with their favourite South Australian charity, Lion Hearts Learning, the auction will raise vital funds to support children and families affected by cancer and low immunity.

Digging deep into their personal archives, the band has pulled together a collection of highly sought-after, rare Hilltop Hoods merchandise including the band’s 2008 BDO Banner, DJ Debris’ signed Rane DJ mixer 2000-2018 (featured in the ‘Cosby Sweater’ film clip), Suffa’s The Great Expanse platinum plaque, signed box sets, signed vinyl bundles, signed clothing and shoes collabs with DCs, Zoo York, G Shock and more.

These exclusive items and more will be auctioned online throughout the tour, live now and running through to Sunday 22 March at 8.30pm AEDT.

Fans attending the band’s sold out Adelaide hometown shows tonight and tomorrow will be able to view some of the merchandise in person, while supporters around the country can also take part online from lionheartslearning.com/hthauction

Every dollar raised will go directly to Lion Hearts Learning, helping create safe, supportive spaces where children undergoing cancer treatment and their families can play, connect, and heal.

“Lion Hearts Learning does incredible work in the community,” said Suffa. “Unfortunately, a lot of families have been impacted by childhood cancer, including Pressure’s, so we’re grateful to be able to help fundraise for a very worthy charity.”
