“‘American Idol,” the popular singing competition series, is stopping in New Mexico as it crisscrosses the nation to find contestants for its second season.
ABC announced that the Idol Bus will stop in Albuquerque during its nationwide search for the next superstar.
The section of the ABC website dedicated to Idol lists the Albuquerque stop as happening on Friday, Aug. 31. There is no specific location for where the bus will be set up.
