And here it is:

Aug. 18, Charleston, S.C. (North Charleston Coliseum)

More from USA Today:

As with past audition tours, Idol producers will narrow each city’s field to 300 to 400 of the best and worst singers. Lythgoe and co-executive producer Ken Warwick will then cull to about 120 per city to sing to judges Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson.

Producers want to find a way to make sure more good singers make it through the initial auditions and the Hollywood round and into the final 24.

“Too many slipped through the net,” Lythgoe says, adding that no big changes are planned.

According to USA Today, the auditions are starting one week earlier to accomodate tryouts for the new Fox series, The Search for the Next Great American Band, going on at the same time.

    Season 1 of The Search for the Next Great American Band, should be interesting.

    Bring on Season 7!

    Hmmm, wonder why so many talented and worthy singers slipped through the cracks? Heh.

    The band competition sounds interesting, indeed. Looking forward to it.

    Wasn’t there supposed to be some “new tradition” they were starting with having an audition site be the recent winner’s hometown - ie. Birminhgam, Al and Taylor?

    If so, where is the Arizona audition?

    Oh, sh*t. They are still talking about Blake and Jordin auditioning in Seattle. That’s why season 6 sucked big time…. :glurps_tb:

    I have to laugh that they have included Omaha. Mainly because during my travels I have found that my favorite karoke bar is located there…LOL

    I thought it was ironic.

    I am really looking forward to seeing what comes out of the Search For The Next Great American Band. If they have good enough contestants, this should make for interesting TV.
