ABC are launching a new boyband-related TV talent show this summer

  • March 31, 2017
  • Brad O'Mance

ABC are launching a new TV talent show called Boy Band which, as the title subtly suggests, will attempt to discover and launch a new boyband. And yes we've chosen to illus­trate this article with a picture of Union J, what are you going to do about it? Do you want to come and fight us? KFC carpark after school. Bring your mates.

According to Billboard, "viewers will have the control to vote for their favorite [FAVOURITE] five band members live."

What could possibly go wrong?

No presenter or judges have been announced as yet, but likely will be before the show 'launches' in the summer.

We live in exciting times.
