“As a precautionary measure to ensure the health of our production crew, talent and aspiring artists, all public auditions for MTV’s “Making the Band” in Charlotte, NC on March 13-14 and New York City on March 21-22 have been canceled. Safety remains our utmost priority, and we’re continuing to defer to health officials and the CDC for guidance.”

Scheduled to serve as a judge was Dababy for the Charlotte auditions and Diddy in New York. Speaking to TMZ, Diddy stated –

“We want to make sure everyone is safe during these times, so we had to make the decision to cancel the in-person casting events.”

“But at the same time, I want to provide an opportunity to everyone to audition from their homes. So I’ve put together a team of A&Rs that will be checking #MTBcasting on all social platforms 24/7 to find gems. Everyone be safe!”

As reported by the Source, those aspiring artists who still want to be a part of the Making the Band reboot, the show is letting them audition remotely. Good stuff!
