American Idol has announced audition cities for the upcoming season and the list includes Chattanooga, TN. The nationwide search for the next superstar kicks off SATURDAY, AUG. 25, and will be in Chattanooga on Aug. 28 as the Idol Bus once again jumps into gear across America, offering hopefuls the chance to audition for American Idol 2018-2019 and a shot at superstardom.
This will be “Idol’s” first trip to Chattanooga looking for prospective contestants, although several former contestants, including runners-up Lauren Alaina and this season’s Caleb Lee Hutchinson are from the “tri-state” area.

Will Idol allow people to attend just to watch? I would like to go to Chattanooga try-outs as a audience member, not to try out. Has a location in Chattanooga been announced yet?
