Show host Tamati Coffey will travel to 14 locations from Invercargill to Whangarei over the next six weeks to find talented Kiwis to enter. Audition highlights will screen on TVNZ's Breakfast show including live crosses from Tamati's weather segment.
Toyota New Zealand General Manager of Marketing Neeraj Lala, says Toyota is excited to support the tour as the primary commercial partner. The tour is being accompanied by radio station Classic Hits in a sign-written Hilux visiting Toyota dealers.
"We can't wait to see what hidden talents are revealed in this first auditions phase. Dealers are looking forward to being involved in the vibe of talented Kiwis preparing for the first round of auditions in their community," says Mr Lala.
Dealerships in the 14 locations are encouraging communities to come along to their local dealership, enjoy a sausage sizzle and chat to Classic Hits about the Toyota Talent Tour from 12-1pm on the day, or the day before, the auditions take place (see schedule below).
Exclusive to those who attend the Toyota dealership events is the opportunity to enter Toyota's competition to win a family trip to Wellington to be part of the audience for the grand decider final of the show later in the year.
