\n\tThe Voice<\/a><\/em> is continuing its tradition of bringing on some high-level mentors for its contestants. On Monday, the NBC show announced Joe Walsh<\/a> and Zac Brown<\/a> as mega mentors for Season 28.<\/p>\n \n\tBrown, who fronts the Zac Brown Band, will mentor the contestants on teams coached by Michael Bubl\u00e9 and Snoop Dogg. Meanwhile, the Eagles\u2019 Walsh will assist Niall Horan and Reba McEntire\u2019s contestants, joining the show to help prepare them for the Knockouts phase, which kicks off Oct. 27. Both new mega mentors have connections to the Sphere in Las Vegas: the Eagles headlined the venue last year, and Zach Brown Band is set to become the first country group to play there, starting in December.<\/p>\n \n\tEach coach will enter the Knockouts phase of the show with eight artists, and no saves or steals. Coaches will have to choose the winner from their team to advance to the Playoffs, before the Live Shows.<\/p>\n \n\tThe Voice<\/em> is also set to introduce a feature called the \u201cMic Drop\u201d button, which will be used when a coach is particularly impressed by an artist on their team. Viewers will then be able to vote for the \u201cMic Drop\u201d winner, who will then get to perform at the Rose Parade on Jan. 1, 2026.<\/p>\n
