Join NowThe Format Twist: Five Coaches, Fewer Seats
Four of last season’s coaches returned — Kate Miller-Heidke, Ronan Keating, Richard Marx, and Melanie C — but this year each of them only has eight spots to fill, down from ten. That’s forcing faster, more selective decisions during the Blinds.
The real curveball is the fifth coach nobody saw coming: Tones and I, folded into the season as a secret coach the other four don’t know about.
She’s not turning chairs in the traditional sense — she’s watching every audition, and when an artist doesn’t get a turn but she thinks they deserved one, she pulls them aside and gives them a second shot at auditioning for the main panel.
Red Roy and Jamie Koul are the first two artists to get that reprieve.
Sonia Kruger returns as host. The season premiered Sunday, August 2, on Seven and 7plus, with a $100,000 cash prize and a full recording development package on the line for the winner.

The Voice Australia 2026 Teams (Blind Auditions)
Blinds are still airing, so these rosters are partial and will keep filling out. Bookmark this page — we’re updating it live rather than posting a new article every episode.
Team Richard Marx
- Tommy Novak, 36, NSW
- Tika Cetinich, 35, VIC
- Liam O’Neill, 23, VIC
Team Ronan Keating
- Daisha Auda, Logan, QLD
- Phoebe Rose, 17, Sunshine Coast, QLD
- Sam Cliffe, 27, New Zealand
Worth watching: Ronan told us he wants a young female country star to take the title this year, and Phoebe Rose is the country act already sitting on his team.
Team Kate Miller-Heidke
- Taylor Beadle Williams, 37, Marrickville, NSW
- Charlotte June, 22, Adelaide, SA
Kate’s the reigning champion coach after winning last season with Alyssa Delpopolo, so she’s got something to defend.
Team Melanie C
- Tommy Novak, 27, Wollongong, NSW
- Jack Hughes, 29, NSW
(Note: there are two different Tommy Novaks this season — one on Team Richard, aged 36 from NSW, and a separate 27-year-old Tommy Novak from Wollongong on Team Melanie.)
Team Tones and I (Secret Coach)
- Litia Keni, 18, Canberra, ACT
- Red Roy, 26, Central Coast, NSW
- Jamie Koul, 19, Melbourne, VIC
What’s Next
With the Blinds still running and only a handful of spots filled on each team, expect this list to grow fast over the next few weeks before moving into Battles. We’ll keep this page current as each episode adds new names — no need to hunt through separate recap posts.
