Joe Walsh, Zac Brown Join The Voice Season 28 Knockouts as Mega Mentors

Season 28 of NBC's The Voice has introduced legendary Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh as a mega mentor for the Knockouts round, alongside Zac Brown. Walsh brings decades of musical experience and mentorship to teams led by Reba McEntire and Niall Horan, helping artists refine their performances and song choices during this critical competition phase. The Knockouts feature coaches pairing artists against each other, with only one advancing per duo, and include a new "Mic Drop" button that allows coaches to highlight standout performances for a special viewer vote, offering the winner a live slot at the 2026 Rose Parade. The addition of Walsh and Brown as mega mentors has been met with excitement by fans and adds significant star power and guidance to the competition as it progresses towards the Playoffs. The show has adjusted its schedule to air only on Mondays until the Playoffs due to sports programming conflicts, accelerating the season's pace. Joe Walsh's involvement elevates the show's credibility and provides invaluable support to the next generation of performers.
