Australia’s got talent returns with all-star judges, unbelievable must-see acts and a world-first twist is coming to Channel Seven and 7plus at 7:00 pm Sunday, 9 October.
Acts from across the globe will be on show alongside comedian and best-selling author David Walliams; beloved actor and radio host Kate Ritchie; multi-platinum selling recording artist and star of Britain’s Got Talent Alesha Dixon; and, making a return to Australia’s Got Talent, actor and entertainer Shane Jacobson.
Multi-Platinum selling artist Ricki-Lee returns as host, guiding the acts backstage as a new wave of talent steps onto the stage.
Australia’s Got Talent this year will feature show-stopping performances, while the judges offer either a “yes from me” or buzz them out of the competition.
The Golden Buzzer is making a return that allows each judge, as well as host Ricki-Lee, a one-time power to send an act straight through to the Semi-Finals.
The brand-new era of Australia’s Got Talent will see a world-first twist where Aussie acts from all walks of life take on some of the globe’s best Got Talent acts vying to be crowned champion.
