Introduction of Mega Mentors
Zac Brown, known as the lead vocalist of the Grammy Award-winning Zac Brown Band, will join the coaching teams of Michael Bublé and Snoop Dogg. Meanwhile, Joe Walsh, a prominent member of the Eagles, will team up with Niall Horan and Reba McEntire. Coaches will have eight artists entering the Knockouts, which commence on Monday, October 27, 2023. This round intensifies the competition, as there are no saves or steals available.

Viewers will then be able to vote for their favorite “Mic Drop” artist from the four competing teams.
- The artist with the highest viewer votes will perform at the prestigious Rose Parade.
- This event is scheduled for January 1, 2026, adding glamour to the competition.
