Behind the Curtain at The Voice: A Quiet Revolution is Unfolding
While fans eagerly await the start of Season 28, something intriguing is stirring beyond the spotlight. As cameras prepare to roll, NBC appears to be quietly laying the groundwork not just for this season but the next — with subtle shifts in scheduling, unannounced auditions, and whispers of new faces and format surprises.
Could Season 29 bring a bigger transformation than anyone expects? As ticket sales for upcoming tapings go live with little fanfare and official details remain scarce, it’s clear: the changes underway are more than just routine — the show might be gearing up for a new chapter.
Season 28 Kicks Off This July — But Season 29 Is Already Moving Fast
Excitement is building for The Voice’s 28th season, with coaches Snoop Dogg, Reba McEntire, Michael Bublé, and Niall Horan returning to their signature red chairs. The much-anticipated Blind Auditions will begin filming in early July at Universal City’s iconic soundstage, setting the stage for a season packed with unforgettable performances airing this fall.
Yet, in a less visible corner of production, preparations for Season 29 are quietly underway.
Tickets for Season 29 Appear Ahead of Any Announcement
Without a public announcement, NBC’s ticketing partner, 1iota, has already opened access to audience tickets for Season 29’s Blind Auditions, slated for:
July 21, 2025 (morning & afternoon shows)
July 22, 2025 (morning & afternoon shows)
July 23, 2025 (morning & afternoon shows)
The listing teases: “The Voice returns with its signature mix of passion and talent, as America’s finest voices compete for a chance to shine.” While the coaching lineup remains under wraps, the early ticket release signals NBC’s intent to keep the momentum going — and perhaps hint at surprises ahead.
Double Seasons: The New Normal
This back-to-back filming approach is not new. Former coach John Legend shed light on the process during a recent chat on The Kelly Clarkson Show:
“We film two seasons back-to-back each year, so downtime is minimal.”
Season 28’s Blind Auditions span four days from July 6–9, but Season 29’s slightly shorter three-day schedule could signal an upcoming shake-up — whether in the coach roster or the format itself.
Contestants’ Marathon Journey
While production moves fast, contestants endure a lengthy process. Take Jaelen Johnston, Season 27’s runner-up, who shared how his journey stretched nearly two years: from September 2023 auditions to February 2025 air date. His path included 15 virtual callbacks and an eventual trip to L.A. for filming — a testament to the grit behind the glam.
What Lies Ahead?
With a stellar lineup returning for Season 28 and the quiet groundwork for Season 29 already laid, The Voice shows no signs of slowing. Fans can look forward to fresh talent, emotional showdowns, and perhaps unexpected changes behind those iconic spinning chairs.
Final Thoughts
As Season 28 gears up to premiere this fall with a star-studded coach panel, the undercurrent of activity around Season 29 reveals The Voice’s commitment to evolution and endurance. With tickets on sale and new chapters waiting to be written, one thing’s certain: the spotlight on this beloved competition remains as bright as ever. The next phase of The Voice is already in motion — and the music is only just beginning.
