Who are the contestants for Australian Idol 2025?

Unfortunately, the contestants have not yet been determined. During the auditions, contestants must receive a Golden Ticket to progress into the next round. 

There will be only 30 tickets available, so contestants must be on their a-game to secure a spot to compete on the show in 2025. 

These Top 30 artists must then survive a week of challenges set by the judges to proceed into the Top 21, Top 12, and so forth until the winner is announced.
