Warm up your vocal cords!
While it’s hard to believe Australian Idol is over for another year, applications are already open for the 2026 season.
Every year, thousands of hopeful singers audition, determined to get their music careers off the ground, and now you can throw your hat in the ring!
This year, Marshall Hamburger won the title, $100,000, and an exclusive recording contract with Hive Sound Studios. He joins a string of other winners, including Guy Sebastian and Casey Donovan, who have forged successful music careers in the years since.
Channel Seven has confirmed that the show will return for its 11th season, and Kyle Sandilands has already confirmed to the Daily Mail that he’s locked in to judge another season of the singing show.
No other confirmations have been made about the other judges, and it remains to be seen if Marcia Hines and Amy Shark will return to the judging panel also.
Scroll on for everything you need to know about season 11 of Australian Idol.
