Louis Walsh is forming a new boyband and a new girlband.
He's holding auditions next month, and is inviting applications.
He says "talented singers and performers aged 16 to 21" can send a short video clip of themselves, and successful applicants will be called to auditions in Vicar Street in Dublin, in November.
Applicants are asked to send their details, along with a short video clip of themselves performing, with link to their YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, or just filmed on their phone, to auditions@louiswalsh.com.
Louis says: “Because of Covid guidelines and indeed the talent that we all see and hear every day online, I am asking people to go onto the site and send me a sample of them performing – or a link to their social account where we can find them.
"We will then call back finalists for a live audition. There is so much great talent here in Ireland and I’m really looking forward to the next few weeks."
Entry closes on Friday 12th Nov 2021.
Successful applicants will be contacted by Monday 15th November 2021 if selected to audition.
