They join the high-stakes Knockout Round that sees the first-ever Mic Drop
Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and multi-Grammy Award-winning Joe Walsh and Grammy Award-winning multi-hyphenate Zac Brown will serve as mega mentors on season 28 of the four-time Emmy Award-winning musical competition series The Voice, airing Mondays at 8 pm ET/PT on NBC and streaming next day on Peacock.
Brown, the frontman of Zac Brown Band, makes his Voice debut when he joins coaches Michael Bublé and Snoop Dogg. Walsh, known for his indelible hits such as “Funk #49,” “Walk Away,” “Life’s Been Good,” “Rocky Mountain Way,” “Life in the Fast Lane” and as a member of the Eagles, joins Niall Horan and Reba McEntire to mentor the remaining artists as they prepare for the Knockouts, beginning Monday, October 27th.
Alongside the coaches, Walsh and Brown bring their dynamic artistry and long-standing industry experience to guide the artists into their most powerful performances yet. Each coach enters the Knockouts with eight artists. With no saves or steals in this round, the competition is intense. Coaches alone choose the winner from their team to advance to the Playoffs, the last round before the Live Shows.
The stakes have never been higher as this season’s Knockouts feature the first-ever “Mic Drop” button, given to each coach to use on an artist from their respective teams whose performance blows them away. Viewers at home will have the opportunity to vote for the “Mic Drop” winner among the four. The artist with the most votes is awarded a performance at The Rose Parade Presented by Honda, live on January 1, 2026.
The Voice season 28 has reached nearly 22 million total viewers across linear and streaming platforms this season.
