The Voice UK 2019 is approaching the live finals with just one stage to go, and it’s the Knock outs next.
After the battles concluded last week, 24 acts remain in the competition, six on each of the four teams.
It’s now time for the Knockouts as two acts make the live finals in each of the teams. Here’s all you need to know include in the line up and song choices.
When are The Voice UK knock outs?
The Voice UK 2019 knockout rounds will air over two weeks, starting tonight (March 16)
Each show will see half of the remaining 24 contestants singing.
The Voice UK knock outs begin tonight on Saturday at 7:30PM on ITV.
How do The Voice UK knock outs work this year?
In the knockouts, each singer will perform once for the coaches and a live studio audience.
The panel will all offer up their views on who was best, but the power over who goes through is solely in the hands of each mentor.
Coaches Jennifer Hudson, will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones and Olly Murs can pick only two acts from their teams to progress in the competition, so there are some tough decisions to make.
Helping the coaches make those decisions are very special guests Years & Years’ Olly Alexander, Anne-Marie, James Arthur and Nicole Scherzinger.
The Voice UK’s new ‘Lifeline’ twist
This year, The Voice viewers will get the chance to vote for a wildcard act this year in a new ‘Lifeline’ twist.
After the knockouts, one of the 16 eliminated contestants will be be given a second chance thanks to the public. Following the second Knockout show next weekend (on Saturday 23rd March) a vote will open via the official app for the public to have their say on who to give the Lifeline to, out of the 16 performers who didn’t make it through.
Host Emma Willis will open the free vote via The Voice UK’s official app just before the show closes and the public will have until 11.30pm that evening to vote.
The successful solo singer or trio voted for by the public will be revealed at the live Semi-Final the following weekend.
