Blake Shelton, former The Voice coach, has announced his return to music competition TV with The Road, set to air on CBS in fall 2025. The show, developed with Taylor Sheridan and others, features a fresh format where aspiring singers tour with a superstar headliner (yet to be announced) as opening acts. Contestants compete by winning over local audiences to stay on the tour and advance.

Shelton shared his excitement, saying, “I know a thing or two about singing competitions and life on tour. This is a chance to discover new talent and give them a real platform.”

The show aims to revolutionize music competitions, showcasing the raw grind of life on the road while spotlighting emerging talent in country music.
