The Next Great American Band will narrow contestants down to 10 semifinalist bands. The bands will perform weekly before a live studio audience. The bands are tasked with playing both original music and various covers in a range of styles and genres. The show plans to push contestants’ comfort levels and limits, hoping for band squabbles and personality problems.

John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls, percussionist and Prince collaborator Sheila E, and Ian “Dicko” Dickson of Australian Idol are judges of the show. Dominic Bowden of New Zealand Idol is the host. The producers of American Idol also participated in the creation of this show.
