In a music competition series like no other, 50 singers will form six bands without ever seeing each other — but who will have the talent and chemistry to make it? Find out when Building the Band premieres July 9, only on Netflix.

Building the Band is all about chemistry. The singers seek to form their own bands from individual sound booths, from which they can’t see the other artists. All they have to go on is musical compatibility, connection, chemistry, and raw talent. What will happen when the bands finally meet — and aesthetics, choreography, work ethic, and style come into play? With incredible performances, compelling drama, and one big goal — to find the next great band — the stage is set for an unforgettable experience.

The series is hosted by AJ McLean (Backstreet Boys), with renowned artist Nicole Scherzinger (The Pussycat Dolls) serving as mentor and judge. Guest judges Kelly Rowland (Destiny’s Child) and the late Liam Payne (One Direction)  bring their unparalleled expertise and personal experience to the competition.
