X Factor Live Tour 2012 Line Up Announced

The X Factor contestants who made it to the final nine of the show will all be hitting the road next year to take part in the annual live tour.

Current favourites Marcus Collins, Craig Colton and Little Mix will be joined by those already eliminated from the competition including Kitty Brucknell, Johnny Robinson and The Risk.

Marcus Collins is quouted as saying: “I’m just so excited to perform and be a part of the tour, I normally think of huge superstars performing in arena tours, and now me, who 6 months ago was working in a hairdressers in Liverpool is going to be on one of the biggest arena tours in the UK, who would have thought it!”

Whilst Little Mix added, “We cannot believe it, we’re the first girl group ever to go on The X Factor tour and it means so much to us. For us to come on this journey together and now have the opportunity to play some of the biggest arenas in front of people that have voted for us is just mind blowing.”
