The official marmite programme of the music world will begin a new series later this month – the X Factor will return to our screens for the eighth time on the August 20th.
The musical competition will be back on ITV a week Saturday, for the first series without the iconic and notoriously harsh Simon Cowell, who masterminded the whole show. N Dubz’s Tulisa Contostavlos, regular Louis Walsh, Take That’s Gary Barlow and singer Kelly Rowland will all be sitting behind the buzzers to decides who makes it to stardom – and who flops out.
As usual, the series will be followed by an arena tour featuring the lucky few finalists who made it past the tough entry rounds, meaning you can see all of your TV idols live on stage. The tour has already been scheduled for early next year in February – the tickets for these events always sell fast, so you’re a fan of the X Factor, see below for dates and details.
