What’s New on ‘The Voice’ Season 30?

There are a few major changes coming to “The Voice” this season, starting with the Blind Auditions.

Per NBC, the new “First In” gives the Coach who turns their chair first a major advantage, but they can only use it once. If an Artist receives multiple chair turns, that Coach can use the button to immediately claim the Artist for their team.

Yep, those chair turns could mean something very different this season. Each coach has a new advantage they can save for the right moment.

There will also be a new “Cut Week,” which will move the competition along much faster, NBC explained. After The Battles, each Coach will send two Artists directly to the Live Shows, while five others compete for the team’s third spot. America will then have a chance to choose one additional Artist, bringing the total number of Live Show performers to 13.

The Live Shows are also getting a major change this season, with episodes airing simultaneously on NBC and Peacock across all time zones for six weeks. Fans will be able to vote throughout the Live Shows using the regular methods, plus two new options: text messaging and comments on the official “The Voice” TikTok account.
