Who says you can't go home again?

Adam Levine is returning to his red chair on The Voice as a coach for season 27, NBC announced Wednesday. Kelsea Ballerini will also be making her debut as a full-fledged coach, with her and the Maroon 5 frontman joining previously announced coaches Michael Bublé and John Legend.

Levine was one of The Voice's four original coaches when the show premiered in 2011, alongside Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera, and CeeLo Green. Levine left after season 16, and this will be his first time back on the singing competition series.
