The free show is set for 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday at 6th and Peabody and will feature an all-star Idol lineup from recent seasons.
Season 21 champ Iam Tongi will perform. So will Season 20 runner-up HunterGirl.
You say you loved the just completed Season 22?
Well, runner-up Will Moseley and finalist Jake Blocker will perform too.
And so will Triston Harper, Emmy Russell and Mia Matthews.
Rounding out the show will be Season 21 finalist Colin Stough, Haven Madison from the same cast and Grace Leer, Top 10 from Season 18.
For those wondering, the event is called 19 Takeover because lots of American Idol standouts wind up releasing music through 19 Recordings.
And while Will, Jack, Triston and Emmy have enjoyed success with the singles released in conjunction with this year’s Idol finale, several of the other contestants also have new music to promote.
For instance …
* Iam Tongi just released official covers of “Cool Down” and “Don’t Let Go,” two songs he performend on last year’s Idol finale.
* Colin Stough released his six-song debut EP Promiseland in October and has followed up with a pair of singles this spring, “Makes Two of Us” and “Sober.”
* HunterGirl released her most recent single, “Bad Boy,” in mid-May. Her single from last year’s finale, “Red Bird,” has been streamed nearly 1.7 million times on Spotify.
* Grace Leer’s most recent single — “Best Friend for Life” — is also one of her most popular to date with more than 1.8 million streams on Spotify. It was released in March.
* Haven Madison’s debut EP, “Turn Off All the Lights,” came out in April. Three songs from it — “Kiss the Ground,” “Monster” and “Sky Up” — have a combined 1.4 million streams on Spotify.
