The search for the next Australian Idol reaches its climax with a live two-night Grand Finale airing April 6 and 7 on Seven and 7plus. Three young finalists remain in contention for the title and prize package.
Here’s the Lowdown: Gisella Colletti (17, WA), Iilysh Retallick (17, NSW), and Marshall Hamburger (19, QLD) are the Top 3 finalists competing for the Australian Idol 2025 crown. The finale begins Sunday, April 6 at 7.00pm, featuring live performances from the finalists and guest appearances by Guy Sebastian, Wolfmother, Leo Sayer, Tina Arena, judge Marcia Hines, and former winner Casey Donovan.
What This Means Now: Australia will watch the final performances and learn who the winner is over two nights. Sunday night focuses on the music, while the live results and winner announcement will happen on Monday, April 7 at 7.30pm. The outcome rests on public votes following Sunday’s show.
The Bigger Picture: This Grand Finale concludes the current season of the revived reality singing competition on Seven. The winner receives $100,000 cash and a recording package with Hive Sound Studios, intended to help launch their music career. The event brings together past winners, industry figures, and the current judging panel (Marcia Hines, Kyle Sandilands, Amy Shark) to cap off the season.
