The X Factor Live 2013 Tour & Ticket Details Announced
Monday, 11 June 2012
Written by Elliott Batte
Heads of Simon Cowell’s singing contest The X Factor have announced the 2013 finalists tour ahead of this summer’s new series.
The now-annual tour, which comes a couple of months after the climax of every series of the show, this time kicks off on January 27th in Manchester’s Manchester Arena, and will feature dates (including some matinee shows) at many a big venue across the country – like Cardiff’s Motorpoint Arena, The LG Arena in Birmingham, and London’s Wembley Stadium. Tickets for the tour go onsale at 9am on Friday 15th June.
As in previous years of the TV show competition, contestants are judged on appearance, personality, stage presence and dance routines by a judging panel. Whittling down the thousands of popstar hopefuls week by week, via a torrent of abuse in the process, contestants eventually face a public vote on their live studio performances to determine whether or not the wannabes are deemed worthy of a £1 million record deal as well as a massive amount of publicity from the press.
With the final of The X Factor competition usually taking place just before Christmas, in recent years the winner could almost guarantee a UK Christmas #1 song too. However, as we saw a few years ago, times have changed – and after a huge online campaign was launched, Simon Cowell’s X Factor finalists were knocked from their perch at the top of the charts.
One thing they do have, though, is their X Factor finalists tour, which allows the stars to embark on at least one big tour in their newly-found career.
