AGT turned into a rock show with these acts. The second they hit the stage, it felt less like an audition and more like the judges had front-row seats to a live concert.

From Broken Roots taking on Bon Jovi to Steel Panther bringing classic glam metal chaos, Girish and The Chronicles turning Adele into a rock anthem, and Steve Ray Ladson making “Back of My Truck” feel like an instant crowd favorite, these acts proved bands belong on the America’s Got Talent stage. Watch some of the most electric AGT rock auditions, country-rock performances, and live-band moments that made the room feel like a sold-out stadium.
