Seven unveils all-star coaching line-up for The Voice 2025

The countdown is on for the highly anticipated return of The Voice Australia, with TV WEEK Gold Logie winner Sonia Kruger back to host as a fresh wave of aspiring artists step up to chase their singing dreams.

Sporty Spice herself, Melanie C, joins GRAMMY-winning balladeer Richard Marx and chart-topping sensation Ronan Keating on the iconic red chairs. Rounding out the line-up is Australia's genre-blending maestro, Kate Miller-Heidke, back for another season.

Melanie C said: "I have always cherished my trips down under over the years, so to be there with such a super lineup of coaches in one of my favourite countries is a real honour. Also, I am very happy to be missing some of the British winter!"

For Marx, the move is both a career and personal milestone: "I’m excited to have the opportunity to meet and nurture some truly talented singers. But I’m also just very happy to be coming to stay in Australia for an extended time. My love affair with Oz began in 1977 when I was 13 and my parents brought me with them for a month-long trip. After many more visits on tour playing to thousands and thousands of Aussie fans, it’s become a home away from home."

Meanwhile, Keating is embracing a full-circle moment, returning to The Voice Australia in a country that holds deep personal significance.

He said: "I first set foot on Aussie shores nearly three decades ago, so I can’t wait to get back to the country where I also met and fell in love with my wife. A country that I now have family and feel right at home in. To be back in the big red chair is going to be really special, especially alongside Melanie C, Kate and Richard."

Returning coach Miller-Heidke is equally pumped, ready to embrace the challenge once again: "I'm absolutely stoked to be coming back to The Singing Olympics aka The Voice this year. I can't wait to hear all the new voices. Singing is an endlessly fascinating art form with the mystical power of connecting people."

Meanwhile, Seven’s group managing director of television, Angus Ross, is confident the all-star line-up will deliver an unforgettable season.

"The Voice continues to captivate millions in its reign as one of Australia – and the world’s – biggest entertainment shows," Ross said. ITV studios Australia CEO and managing director David Mott echoed the excitement, promising another show-stopping season.

Filming kicks off in Sydney next month, with The Voice Australia set to premiere later this year on Seven and 7plus.
