It’s just going to be probably the most amazing experience of my life and it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long, long time. I’ve always tried to get into big venues and to do something like this, like a huge prestigious tour, it’s kind of like, yeah, that’s it for me, that’s made my life.”

Wow! I can’t believe it. It’s going to be mental. And to perform in front of thousands of people each week, I really can’t wait. It’s a dream come true. It’s amazing.”

Parissa from Only The Young, said: “Oh, it’s just incredible. We’ve waited for two years to do something like this and to get to go to the arenas all across the UK is just insane.”

Charlie from Stereo Kicks the worlds largest (in numbers) Boy Band, concluded saying: “We are so excited that we are going on tour. This is the biggest opportunity for us so far. Touring at least 30 places, and it’s where all the big people from X Factor started and built up their fan base. That’s where One Direction started. If you had asked me previously before the show, what would be your main thing to do, I’ve always said touring, and now we actually have the opportunity to do it, up and down the country, it will be incredible.”

The tour kicks off on February 13, 2015 in Belfast, and visits to Aberdeen, Bournemouth, Birmingham, Brighton, Cardiff, Dublin, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sheffield with contestants performing classic songs and viewers’ favourites from the TV series.
