# The Voice of Finland season 13

The 13th season of The Voice of Finland started airing on January 19, 2024. Star coaches Elastinen and Maija Vilkkumaa continued from the previous season, and were joined by Sanni and Arttu Wiskari. The hosts for the 13th season are Heikki Paasonen and Jaana Pelkonen. The program is broadcast on TV in Finland to the channel Nelonen and is available through the Ruutu+ subscription service. Parts of the show are posted to YouTube as well. The season consists of four different phases; the Blind Auditions, Battles, Knock-Outs and Live broadcasts. "The Cut" from the previous season has been omitted.
The show features contestants from various backgrounds. While many of them have not been in the public eye before, there may be familiar faces among them as well. For example, Emil Hallberg, an actor and dancer known from Finnish TV series "Salatut elämät" and the son of dancer Helena Ahti-Hallberg; Tina Sandqvist, who participated in season 4 of The Voice of Finland in 2015; and Sini Ikävalko, a pastor and participant of the 6th season of the show, who was dubbed "laulavana pastorina" (English: "the singing pastor") back in the day
The season also has a larger than usual international representation, featuring Lisa Dumchieva, a doctor who fled Ukraine due to the Russian invasion; Diego Hernandez Campos, who is originally from Mexico and lives in Helsinki; Isabel Chikoti, a Zambian model who lives in Espoo and who won Miss Zambia and was Zambia's representative at Miss Universe in 2017; and Yannick Schuurmans, a student from the Netherlands who lives in Lappeenranta.
