The judges for the The Next Great American Band which wil air on Fox have been namedBoston (EON) - The judges for the The Next Great American Band which wil air on Fox have been named.

John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls will be accompanied by Sheila E who is a percussionist, as well as Ian “Dicko” Dickson. These three are going to make up the panel who reportedly are going to choose the Next Great American Band.

Dickson is the most surprising choice.

The producers of American Idol put together American Band which will have many of the same traits as American Idol except for the fact that it will focus on a band rather than just a singer.

Nationwide auditions will be held until the judges narrow it down to 10 semifinalist bands. They will perform each week before a live studio audience until a winner is chosen.
