They are filming these shows much earlier this year. I went to one of the Top 30 shows in Sydney for the 2024 season back in Feb which was filmed only a few weeks before it went to air. So for the 2025 season they don’t seem to be wasting any time after the auditions.
Edit: Actually I think I’m wrong, it was a top 24 show I attended. So the Top 30 show must be a one-off filming (as there is only 1 date listed) to determine who goes into the Top 24 shows which will likely be filmed next year.

Australian Idol on the hunt for a label after record deal comes to an end
Sony is not returning for the 10th season (of Australian Idol) as auditions for Australia’s next big singing star get under way across the country.
Sony has provided a recording deal for each Australian Idol winner since the show launched in 2003 when Guy Sebastian was triumphant.
Additionally, winners have received a cash prize, most recently since the show was rebooted by Channel 7 two years ago, of $100,000.
With Sony no longer on board, it is understood producers are in the midst of negotiating next year’s prize package.
2025 promo aired during MKR. Missed capping it. Was quite catchy and clever… to Marcia’s hit, I’ve Got the Music in Me.
It’s a good promo but I can see me getting sick of it between now and when it starts in February.
Sadly, all FTA Networks do it. Three months of endless ads. They’re catchy to start off with, but the novelty will wear off. Seven with Idol, 10 with I’m A Celebrity, and soon - Nine with Married at First Sight.
On another note - good to see it advertised as airing three nights a week. I am glad that the same three judges as this season are returning.
I was hoping for a fourth judge but it did seem to work quite well with three.
Catch it on Seven in 2025
Foot tapping, shoulder bouncing, goosebumps, and a burning urge to sing? If you have these symptoms, you could have Idol fever.
It’s highly infectious, and in a cheeky promo to launch the hotly anticipated 2025 season of Australian Idol, judge Marcia Hines comes down with the virus. Nervously sitting in the waiting room of the doctor’s clinic, fellow judges Amy Shark and Kyle Sandilands do not take the news well.
The soundtrack of the new promo features an exciting collaboration with Hines and ARIA-Award-winning DJ and producer Sgt Slick, who has sprinkled some 2024 magic on Marcia’s 1976 disco classic, I’ve Got The Music In Me.
Primed for dance floors across the Australian summer, Marcia’s stunning all-new vocal performance is masterfully engineered with Slick’s impeccable production.
I’ve Got The Music In Me is a contagious, funked-up disco house anthem that brilliantly combines the talents of Australia’s foremost disco diva with one of our best producers.
“I’m overjoyed to be working with my dear friend and brother, Sgt Slick,” explains Marcia. "I couldn’t be happier with how he’s brought new life and energy to my song.
“This is such a special moment, especially as we celebrate the incredible young talent coming through on Australian Idol. I can’t wait to see where their journeys take them," said Marcia.
If you have Idol fever’ there is only one treatment: Take the full course of Australian Idol, three nights a week. If symptoms persist, you can get a booster on 7plus.
Maybe it’s just me, but this feels really poorly executed.
Thought the same, fun idea but seems poorly staged.
It’s likely that this will be the initial early promo just to start building hype and will probably air for the next month or so. Then as it gets closer they usually start inserting other ones showing contestants and other things.
True but it will probably also feature Marcia’s song while catchy it’s annoying after you have listened to it for the 100th time
First audition clip of the 2025 season aired tonight during 7News. It featured Iilysh, a 17-year-old girl from Culcairn in southern NSW.
By the time Idol starts in early February (?), we would have seen almost every contestant advertised. And a good chunk of their back stories too.
Will check-out chick Iilysh be Australia’s next Idol?
A small-town girl with big dreams, 17-year-old Iilysh has her sights set on becoming Australia’s next Idol when the hit star-making series returns to Channel 7 and 7plus in 2025.
Hailing from the small regional town of Culcairn, NSW, Iilysh is a check-out-chick who lives and breathes rock music.
She started singing as an eight-year-old, wanting to accompany her father who was always playing guitar in their home.
“As a young girl, I discovered how people can be moved by music and that everyone can connect through the power of a song,” said Iilysh. “I found that singing brought me comfort, and an escape from everyday worries.”
Will Iilysh walk away with the Idol crown? Get ready for incredible voices and cracking surprises in the 2025 season of Australian Idol.
