MTV’s ‘Making The Band’ Reboot Announces Judges; NC Audition Dates

MTV and Sean “Diddy” Combs have announced the judges and casting tour information for the upcoming reboot of MTV’s Making the Band. 

The mogul’s sons Christian Combs, Quincy Brown and Justin Combs are set for the judges’ panel along with creative director and celebrity choreographer LaurieAnn Gibson, who is returning to the franchise.

The search to discover the world’s next breakout music stars began with a multi-city casting tour that launched this past weekend in Atlanta. Open auditions will be held in Houston (March 7-8), Charlotte, NC (March 13-14) and New York (March 21-22). Gibson, Diddy, and sons will make appearances throughout the tour.

According to MTV, fans will also have the opportunity to experience Making the Band vocal booths that will pop-up around each city ahead of the open casting auditions. The booth offers music video-style performances to approved audition songs. All submissions can be shared across social platforms and be used to submit auditions online. To submit an audition, please visit MTV.com.

The revived series will premiere in 2020, but no date has been set.

Making the Band premiered on MTV in 2002 with Combs at the helm, two years after the original edition that followed the founding of O-Town aired on ABC. The series quickly became a breakthrough concept in music and television that chronicled the real-life drama and intimate journeys of musical acts Danity Kane, Day26, Da Band and Donnie Klang.
