ITV launches Name That Tune, a new music game show set to air on ITV1 and ITVX, as well as STV and STV Player. Hosted by Alison Hammond, the series puts contestants head-to-head as they test their knowledge of tracks spanning generations, from classic artists to contemporary global hits. Each episode features fast-paced rounds built around identifying songs from just a few notes, building toward a high-stakes finale.
Designed as an interactive family format, the show invites both the studio audience and viewers at home to play along, creating a shared music experience across generations.

Based on the successful U.S. format, the UK version features the iconic Name That Tune band, a group of elite musicians who have performed with major global stars including Adele and The Spice Girls. The band performs live in the studio, covering a wide range of genres. Currently in its fifth season in the U.S., the format continues to deliver strong performance for FOX.

Host Alison Hammond said: "As a massive music lover, my biggest challenge as a host will be trying not to grab the mic and start singing along when one of my all-time favourite tunes comes on! And trust me… that will take serious self control! I grew up absolutely loving the original show so being part of this now feels like a real full-circle moment. I cannot wait to get into the studio, put the contestants through their paces, and see who really knows their music. And let me tell you, being joined by the super-talented Name That Tune band, who’ll be belting out some of the biggest songs on the planet in their own unique, electric style… oh, it’s going to be next-level. Bigger, louder, and more feel-good than ever this is going to be EPIC!”

Katie Rawcliffe, Director of Entertainment, Reality & Daytime ITV said: “Name That Tune is such an iconic brand we are excited to be bringing this refreshed global format to the UK audience. It's a fun family series that not only sees contestants challenged in the studio, but viewers can play along with all the family, providing an unique playlist that spans generations.”
Lily Wilson, MD for Bright Entertainment (part of ITV Studios) said: “We are thrilled to be working alongside BiggerStage and bringing Name That Tune back to UK viewers, with the fabulous Alison at the helm. Get ready for addictive family play along and to shout at your screens!”
