'American Idol' Sets Season Eight Audition Cities
Salt Lake City and Kansas City -- hometowns of David Archuleta and David Cook -- get auditions
"American Idol" will begin its search for the next David Cook or David Archuleta on Thursday, July 17.The latest "American Idol" audition tour will kick off at the Cow Palace in San Francisco as TV's most watched show begins its quest for its eighth champion.
Over the next month, "American Idol" will visit seven additional cities, including a first visit to the island of Puerto Rico, for auditions on Saturday, Aug. 2.
Following San Francisco on the 17th of July, "Idol" will move to Louisville, Kentucky on Monday, July 21 and to Phoenix, Arizona on Friday, July 25. Perhaps spurred by local boy Archuleta's runner-up finish this past season, Salt Lake City, Utah will get an audition on Tuesday, July 29.
After the sojourn in Puerto Rico, "Idol" will be back on the mainland for auditions in Kansas City -- Cook's hometown -- on Aug. 8, followed by Jacksonville, Florida on Aug. 13 and East Rutherford, New Jersey on Aug. 18.
Once again, auditions are open to men and women 16-28 years of age as of July 14, 2008.
