Before “The Voice” season 27 crowns a winner, it’ll host a bit of a family reunion with coaches past and present, including the first time Adam Levine and Blake Shelton have been on the set together since Levine performed on Shelton’s final show in 2023.

The season 27 finale on May 20 begins at 8 p.m. Eastern time as host Carson Daly leads a one-hour recap of the top 8’s performances from the previous night.

At 9 p.m. Eastern time, he’ll kick off the one-hour live finale which will include the aforementioned celebrity performances, as well as duets between season 27’s finalists and their coaches — John Legend, Adam Levine, Kelsea Ballerini, and Michael Bublé.

Four past coaches — Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, Chance The Rapper, and Alicia Keys — will revisit their old stomping grounds to promote and perform new music. According to a press release from NBC, here’s what to expect:

• Shelton, who coached for 23 seasons from 2011 to 2023, will sing his new single “Texas,” which recently became his 30th number one country song
• Clarkson, who coached on seasons 14 through 21 as well as season 23, will perform her new single, “Where Have You Been,” which she released on May 2.
• Chance, who coached on seasons 23 and 25, will perform “Space and Time” from his new project, “Star Line.”
• Keys, who coached on seasons 11, 12, and 14, will appear with Amanda Reid from the Broadway musical “Hell’s Kitchen,” with the TV debut of “The River/ “Empire State of Mind.”

Shelton’s performance may be the last time he’s able to promote his music on “The Voice,” given that he’s spearheading a competitor to the show with CBS’ “The Road,” premiering in the fall of 2025.
