The fourth season of The Voice premiered on 28 June 2015.[1] Ricky Martin and Joel Madden returned as coaches for the fourth season, with Madden pairing up with his brother, Benji Madden as a duo. In January 2015, it was announced that Jessie J would join the coaching line-up as well Delta Goodrem, who would return to the panel after a one-season hiatus; replacing former judges will.i.am and Kylie Minogue, respectively. This is the first season to feature two female coaches on the show.[2] On 22 February 2015, it was announced that Sonia Kruger would be joining the fourth season as a co-host with Darren McMullen.[3] Ellie Drennan from Team Jessie won the competition on 30 August, marking Jessie J's first and only win as coach, as well as the first female coach to win a season of the show.
