Idol Chatter & Voice Views

American Idol host Ryan Seacrest with Laine Hardy during Season 17.

Idol will be stopping in 20 cities this summer to audition hopefuls. That includes stops in the D.C. area on Sept. 4 and in Pittsburgh on Sept. 7.

To be eligible, singers must be between 15 and 28 as of June 1, 2019, meaning their birth date must fall between June 2, 1990 and June 1, 2004.

Anyone interested in registering for an audition on one of the dates before should go here. Singers can also audition online.

Of course, the dates below are just for the opening round of auditions, not auditions in front of the celebrity judges.
