The show also features singers Kelly Rowland and Nicole Scherzinger as judges and Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean as the host.
It brings together 50 musicians who have to form six bands, without ever seeing each other in person.
They perform in individual booths and have to pick one another based on singing ability and compatibility alone.
They have to form groups, who then compete against each other with the three judges watching.

It shares similarities to how Liam's band One Direction were formed on The X Factor in 2010.
Liam filmed his scenes in the show in August just two months before he fell to his death from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Gallagher brothers on special edition Big Issue covers ahead of Oasis shows
Two special edition covers, each featuring either Liam or Noel Gallagher, will be on sale from Monday, including a complete retrospective on the history of Oasis, with interviews and contributions from those who have photographed, promoted and created sleeve art for the band over the years. In addition, there is a collection of Liam and Noel's best Big Issue interviews. The publication has spoken to photographer Kevin Cummins, who captured the big moments, including both cover images, as the band blazed a trail through the 1990s. Commenting on an early session, Cummins said: 'That's a particular favourite really. If I was their mum, I'd love that session. I'd say: 'Oh, that's a really lovely picture of you two.' 'Plus they look like they like each other. Which of course, they do, but you know… you spend too long with your brother… I can understand all that really easily.' A limited run of 10 collector's copies, signed by Kevin Cummins, will be available from the Big Issue Shop, with proceeds supporting Big Issue's work to end poverty in the UK. The long-awaited Oasis Live '25 tour kicks off in Cardiff on July 4 before a run of shows in London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Dublin. Paul McNamee, UK Editor of the Big Issue, said: 'These covers are a celebration of a band that defined a generation. Over the years Big Issue has been with them, as a band and solo. Our interviews provide incredible insights to the Oasis story. 'The Gallagher rivalry is part of the story, but the music is key. That said, we're keen to see which side Big Issue readers pick. 'Don't miss out – choose your side. Or go for both! The Big Issue will always be here showing to spotlight cultural forces.'

Meghan's As Ever jam is actually made in factory 2,000 miles from Montecito
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, had claimed the first batches of her latest As Ever products, including her jam and £21-a-jar honey, had sold out within hours of release A jam Meghan Markle has released under her new brand As Ever is actually made 2,000 miles from her mansion. The pricey preserve is said to be "inspired by the recipe Meghan crafted in her home kitchen" and an Instagram video shows a fruity mixture bubbling in a pot at the duchess' Californian property. However, it has now been revealed the jam - which Meghan sells for £6.50 per jar - is produced in a factory in Illinois, some 2,000 miles from Montecito. It is actually manufactured by the same US giant which sells Meghan's £9 packs of herbal tea. It also makes her sold-out orange blossom honey, priced at £21-a-jar – although it is not known whether it manufactures her newly released apricot preserve. Meghan, 43, had claimed last week the first batches of the apricot preserve and other new treats had sold out within hours of release online. But one tough food critic told the media she felt the jam was "a real disappointment" upon reviewing the fruity spread. Donna Collins blasted the jam, describing it as "too runny" to work. And mother-of-two Meghan faces more scrutiny today after it has emerged The Republic of Tea, which produces the jam, is based 2,000 miles from Montecito, quite the contrast to the homely image the duchess has presented in marketing for the preserve. A source close to the duchess said in order to formulate the commercial product, As Ever started with the spread Meghan makes at home "and worked to develop a version of it that could be produced at scale". Meghan's website, though, describes her "signature" raspberry jam as "inspired by the recipe she made in her home kitchen" – and says it was deliberately crafted with a fluid texture". On her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, she described harvesting berries and making small batches of jars in her kitchen, adding: "I did save one of 50 for my mom." However, a source close to Meghan has confirmed to the Daily Mail that The Republic of Tea makes her As Ever raspberry spread, but a new supplier would soon be used. The Republic of Tea's headquarters is in Larkspur, California, 350 miles from Meghan's mansion - but the factory in which the jam is said to be made is in Illinois, which is in the Midwestern United States. In a statement given to the Mail, Netflix said: "Netflix and As Ever take pride in working with best-in-class vendors that meet our high standards for exceptional products. It's been exciting to see how much fans have embraced the As Ever product line, with the first two launches selling out so quickly We're looking forward to continued success as we expand and release more As Ever product throughout the year and beyond."
