The Pasadena Tournament of Roses® and The Voice are thrilled to announce that the winner of the Mic Drop will perform in the 2026 Rose Parade® presented by Honda.
Fan-favorite coaches Michael Bublé, Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan, and Reba McEntire vie to discover and coach America’s next singing phenomenon on NBC’s four-time Emmy Award-winning musical competition series The Voice.
If the artists do make it past the Battles, they then have to survive the Knockouts. The Knockouts are also head-to-head competitions within the teams, but instead of duets, each artist chooses their own song to perform solo. This year, competitors who make it to the Knockouts have the chance to win the “Mic Drop” competition; the winner will perform at the Rose Parade on New Year’s Day!
During the Knockouts, which begin airing on October 27 (8 p.m. ET/PT) and continue for four weeks, each coach will be given a Mic Drop button to use on a contestant from their own team who blows them away. Then, on November 24, viewers at home will have the opportunity to vote for the Mic Drop winner among the four, and the contestant with the most votes will earn a performance at the Rose Parade presented by Honda on January 1, 2026.
Starting Monday, November 3, The Voice airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. Episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock. Mark your calendars!
Here’s a full breakdown of how The Voice works.
The 137th Rose Parade presented by Honda will officially begin at 8:00 a.m. PST, captivating millions of viewers as America’s New Year Celebration kicks off in unforgettable style.
