Genting Arena reveals X Factor Live line-up
Birmingham’s Genting Arena has announced the six acts which will be appearing at the venue when The X Factor Live Tour arrives in the city in February.
The top six artists confirmed to appear are semi-finalists: Rak-Su, Grace Davies, Kevin Davy White, Lloyd Macey, The Cutkelvins and Matt Linnen.
A seventh wildcard act will be decided via an online vote from all the acts to feature in this year’s live shows.
Rak-Su are the first ever X Factor act to have had two No.1 singles on iTunes whilst being on the show, riding high in the charts with Dimelo and Mona Lisa, which also won them the weekend vote in week four.
Grace Davies won the Prize Fight in week one with her stunning and emotional performance of her original song, Too Young. The track also became the first song of this series to top the UK iTunes chart.
Kevin Davy White won the weekend vote in week two with his vocal and electric guitar for his rendition of Santana’s Smooth.
Lloyd Macey topped the weekend vote in week three with his moving rendition of George Michael’s A Different Corner. As a result, he won the right to open for chart-topping superstars Little Mix on their arena tour in Manchester.
Also joining the line-up are The Cutkelvins, whose original song Saved Me From Myself was one of the stand out performances across week four, as well as Matt Linnen, who impressed judges and the audience with his raw and original takes on hits, including Alicia Key’s Falling.
The X Factor Live Tour, which will be hosted by presenter Becca Dudley, visits Birmingham on February 25.
The X Factor Tour has been seen by more than three million people since it began 13 years ago, making it one of the UK’s most successful annual arena tours.
Tickets are priced at £23.50 / £42.15 / £63.05 / £112.77 (VIP) and these include admin fees and 90p facility fee. There is a £2.55 fulfilment fee per order.
