Blind Auditions [ ] The Blind auditions took place on 18, 19 and 20 October at The Helix . The coaches choose teams of artists through a blind audition process. Each coach has the length of the artists' performance to decide if they want that artist on their team. Should two or more coaches want the same artist, then the artist gets to choose their coach. This series, each coach gets to pick ten artists to join their team. Once the coaches have picked their team, they are to pit them against each other in the ultimate sing off; The Battles. An addition this season is that RTÉ 2fm have selected 5 wildcards to audition.
