A brand-new collection of hopeful singers have taken the stage on The Voice 2024 in the hopes of becoming Australia’s next sensation.
But these singers aren’t the only newcomers hitting the reality TV competition, with three new coaches also sitting in the infamous red chairs alongside returning judge Guy Sebastian.
All four judges have extraordinary talent and earned their name in the music industry, now they will discover and nurture aspiring talent.
Below, we’ve listed everything you need to know about The Voice Australia 2024, including the release date, contestants and details on the judges.
Who are the coaches for The Voice Australia 2024?
Australian pop sensation Guy Sebastian is the only original Voice coach returning to the red chair this 2024 season – reprising his coaching position for the fifth season.
In May, Channel Seven confirmed he will be joined by American Idol 2009 runner-up Adam Lambert, LeAnn Rimes and Kate Miller-Heidke.
It will definitely be a tight competition this year as the judges are ready for a fight to win the top spot.
Speaking to TV Week at the 2024 Logies, Kate Miller-Heidke spoke about what fans can expect this year.
“This season of The Voice, I think, is going to be by far the best ever. And I’m not just saying that because it’s my first season,” she said. “I think we’ve got such a real diversity of talent – all styles of different singing. It’s a celebration of music and human connection.”
“Guy Sebastian really took me under his wing,” she added. “And I could go crawling to him if I ever had a slight crisis of confidence or needed advice or help because he’s been around the block so many times. And he was very, very generous with his knowledge.”
The winner’s prize
The Voice Australia winner will take home $100,000 in prize money. However, the show has quietly dropped the recording contract offer with Universal Music Australia or EMI Music Australia that it had in years past.
Instead, the winner is set to get an artist development package with a recording studio in Sydney.
Many are calling this new rule a blessing and an end to the “curse”, which saw previous winners fail to ever have their music careers take off. It seems the contract is something that has “blocked winners from making a profit or owning their music for years,” an insider told Yahoo!Lifestyle.
When does The Voice Australia return?
Luckily for fans, the wait is over! The Network confirmed the singing contest would return to screens on Monday August 19 2024.
The Voice airs on Channel Seven and 7Plus.
