The Voice of Finland (season 6) is the sixth season of the Finnish reality singing competition based on the The Voice format. The season premiered on Nelonen on January 6, 2017. The live final is scheduled on April 14, 2017.
The coaches are singers Anna Puu, Olli Lindholm, Redrama and Michael Monroe. Heikki Paasonen hosts the program.
During battle rounds, coaches divide contestants to pairs and give them a song to perform. Coach then choose a winner to continue to the Knock Out phase. The losing contestant can still be stolen by another coach, as each coach can make two steals. Each coach is also joined by an adviser, with Michael Monroe being joined by singer Robin, Olli Lindholm by singer Ellinoora, Anna Puu by singer Pete Parkkonen, and Redrama by singer Diandra.
The Knockout rounds were aired on 3, 9, 10, and 17 of March, 2017. Teams of 8 (Anna Puu and Redrama) and 9 (Michael Monroe and Olli Lindholm) were stripped down to 4 for the live shows. The knockout takes place in a form of four-chair challenge where after each performance the coach decides on giving a chair numbered from 1 (the best performance of the night) to 4 (the last place to qualify to the live finals) or eliminates the contestant immediately. When the chairs are full and the coach decides to give a numbered chair to another contestant, the contestant on the 4th chair is eliminated and other contestants change seats to adjust to the latest number.
Live shows began on March 25. The live shows were aired on Friday at 8 PM from Logomo, Turku.
The first live show featured a group performance by the coaches, singing each other's popular songs: "Kickstart" (Redrama), "Minne tuulet vie" (Olli Lindholm), "Säännöt rakkaudelle" (Anna Puu), "Don't You Ever Leave Me" (Hanoi Rocks/Michael Monroe).
The show featured guest performances from Haloo Helsinki ("Oh no Let's Go") and The Rasmus ("Paradise").
