The tenth season of Australian Idol premiered on 2 February 2025.[1] This is the third season airing on Seven Network, after they bought the rights to the series from Network 10.

Production

In June 2024, it was officially revealed that the show had been renewed by Seven Network for a tenth season, set to premiere in 2025.[2] It was revealed that Ricki-Lee and Scott Tweedie would both return as hosts, and Kyle Sandilands, Marcia Hines and Amy Shark would all be returning as judges.[3] Seven later confirmed the 2025 cast at their upfronts on 13 November 2024.[4] Ricki-Lee, Phil Burton and Kate Ceberano filled in for Sandilands on occasions when he was unwell due to recently being diagnosed with a brain aneurism.[5][6]

Auditions

Auditions were held in various cities around Australia. In a few cases, a single judge visited a remote location to audition contestants by themselves. Like last season, contestants were not guaranteed a "golden ticket" if they got two or three "yes" votes from the judges. Instead, they were sent to a holding area until the end of the day, when the judges would further narrow down the contestants they saw, potentially have some contestants sing again, and decide who made the Top 30.[7]

Over three nights, seven contestants will perform in front of a live audience, by the end of each round four singers will make it through to the top 12. The judges will also each be given one ‘FastPass’ which, whilst not exactly a Touchdown, works like a Golden Buzzer, automatically sending someone into the Top 12.[8]

Live performances

During each round of the live performances, each contestant sings a song with a given theme. After all contestants have sung, the judges choose one contestant to directly advance to the next stage; then, the public is given approximately 24 hours to vote for their favourite singers. During the results night, after voting has closed, the four contestants with the fewest votes sing again—in pairs. The singer with the lowest number of votes, per each pair, is eliminated from the competition.
