Description

Australia’s most electrifying music competition, The Voice Australia, is back for its 14th season—launching Sunday, 10 August at 7.00pm on Seven and 7plus—with a coaching panel like no other.

Pop icon Melanie C (Sporty Spice) makes her debut, joined by GRAMMY-winning hitmaker Richard Marx, Voice veteran Ronan Keating, and our very own Kate Miller-Heidke—back for her second season and determined to win.

Kate’s career is as varied as it is acclaimed: five Top 10 albums, performances at the Metropolitan Opera and English National Opera, four Helpmann Awards for her debut opera The Rabbits, and a Top 10 Eurovision finish in 2019 with Zero Gravity. In 2024, she toured nationally, premiered Muriel’s Wedding: The Musical in the UK, and played her first UK headline show in a decade.
