When it comes to love, meeting face-to-face is clearly overrated. But what about music?

Building the Band will attempt to answer this question by forming the next great music group without any of the members ever seeing each other. A group of talented singers will enter the competition for the opportunity of a lifetime: to find their perfect bandmates solely based on musical compatibility, connection, and, most importantly, merit.

Nicole Scherzinger (The Pussycat Dolls), Liam Payne (One Direction), and Kelly Rowland (Destiny’s Child) will serve as judges, bringing their unparalleled expertise and personal band experience to the competition. AJ McLean of The Backstreet Boys will host the series.

As for the contestants, they’ll be in complete control every step of the way, but is chemistry enough to make them a success? And when the bands finally do meet, how will looks, choreography, and style come into play? Expect plenty of drama, next-level artistry, and unforgettable performances.
