Skid Row are holding open auditions in an effort to find a new vocalist. Submissions are being accepted through Sweetwater and they will continue to be reviewed until a singer is chosen.

The following was said about the initiative:

“Skid Row has announced a first-of-its-kind partnership with USA company Sweetwater, the world’s leading online retailer of musical instruments and pro-audio equipment, to search worldwide for their next lead vocalist. The collaboration invites singers from around the world to audition for the opportunity to front one of rock’s most enduring and respected bands.

In 2026, Skid Row marks its 40th anniversary. Over four decades, the band has delivered some of hard rock’s most iconic anthems, including “18 and Life”, “I Remember You”, “Monkey Business” and “Youth Gone Wild”. With multi-platinum albums, chart-topping releases, and a global touring legacy, the band has remained a defining force in rock music. Now, Skid Row is opening the door to a new era—seeking a vocalist who can honor their legacy and shape the future.”

The band commented:

“This is not a contest or a gimmick. It’s a genuine search for the right voice, presence, and authenticity to carry Skid Row forward.”

Sweetwater’s Nick Bowcott added:

“I first saw Skid Row play in New Jersey before they were signed, and they totally blew me away with the sheer quality of their songs, and the infectious high-energy of their performance. We at Sweetwater are excited to partner with the group to host this once in a lifetime opportunity”
