Building the Band brings together singers seeking to form their very own band, in a concept similar to Love is Blind as they are kept in separate booths without seeing each other.
The show’s synopsis says: “All they have to go on is musical compatibility, connection, chemistry and merit… with incredible performances, compelling drama, and one big goal – to find the next great music band – the stage is set for an unforgettable experience.”
Backstreet Boys star AJ Mclean will host the series, with Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger taking on the role of mentor and judge on the show, while Payne and Rowland will appear as guest judges.
Scherzinger was a judge on The X Factor when Payne auditioned in 2010 as a solo contestant, before being grouped with Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson to form One Direction.
