Weeks after NBC announced the coaching lineup for season 30 of “The Voice,” returning coaches Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine will start filming Blind Auditions in Los Angeles with rookie coaches Queen Latifah and Riley Green on June 14, 2026.
Tickets to two tapings at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. that day are already sold out, according to ticketing manager 1iota, but as of May 30, there was still availability for filming taking place the next three days — June 15, 16, and 17.
‘The Voice’ Season 30 Will Begin Airing in September
Clarkson, Levine, Riley, and Queen Latifah are scheduled to film “The Voice” Blind Auditions four days in a row as they form their teams for season 30. They’ll be in their iconic red chairs for two tapings a day, morning and afternoon, per 1iota.
Fans can submit requests for one or two free tickets to a taping, but must be 18 or older to be in the audience.
Season 30 is slated to premiere in September on NBC, though the network hasn’t announced a specific air date. Typically, the fall season kicks off the third week of the month, so a September 16 premiere is likely, given that NBC did confirm at its Upfronts on May 11 that the series will continue to air on Monday nights.
“The Voice” will air from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern time in September and October, but will move to a one-hour time slot at 9 p.m. Eastern in November due to NBC’s NBA game schedule.
In the spring of 2026, season 29’s “Battle of Champions” featured just three primary coaches — Clarkson, Levine, and John Legend — and lasted just six weeks.
Riley Green Thinks Kelly Clarkson Will Be His Toughest Opponent on ‘The Voice’
Green, who has skyrocketed to fame in the country music world since his Platinum hit “There Was a Girl” in 2018, doesn’t know any of his fellow coaches well, but after receiving a tongue-in-cheek, trash-talking voice mail from Clarkson — who’s one of the show’s winningest coaches and the original winner of “American Idol” — he suspects she might be his biggest rival.
Backstage at the 2026 American Music Awards on May 25, he told E! News, “Kelly Clarkson sent me a message, kinda talking trash about the show. Kelly’s definitely talked the most trash. So, she’ll probably be tough.”
In a social media post on May 10, Green could be seen listening to a voicemail from Clarkson, who returned to “The Voice” for season 29 after several seasons away.
“Riley Green, this is Kelly Clarkson,” the songstress started her voicemail. “Uh, that is officially the last time we’re gonna use each other’s full names ’cause we’re not tools. We’ve never officially met, so I’m super stoked to coach alongside you. Welcome to ‘The Voice!’”
After revealing that she’s a “super fan” of his music, Clarkson then changed her tone, telling him, “Needless to say, fan and all, it’s a competition. So I, as a future friend, I sent you something. A little gift, a little something (for) while you’re out on the road doing shows and getting your head in the game for ‘The Voice’ coming up, because I think you’re gonna need the practice.”
