IT looks like being one of the biggest-selling shows of next year with fans clamouring for tickets even though they don't actually know who they're going to see.

The inevitable spin-off X Factor Live Tour will find the 12 finalists from this year's hit TV show taking to the stage next February and March for a series of guaranteed sell-out performances.

These now include a concert at the Bournemouth International Centre on Monday, March 17, which is one of a number of dates just added to cope with the massive demand for tickets.

Audiences of last year's X Factor Live Tour saw the 2007 winner Leona Lewis take centre stage having already smashed worldwide download records, selling 50,000 copies in just 30 minutes of winning X Factor with her debut single A Moment Like This.

The single sold more than 600,000 copies in its first week of release, making the X Factor star the biggest selling female debut artist of all time.

Those who also took to the stage on the sell-out tour were Ray Quinn, whose debut album hit the number one chart spot in April this year, top 10-selling Ben Mills and other popular finalists who included Ashley McKenzie, Eton Road and The MacDonald Brothers.

Tickets for X Factor Live at the BIC on Monday, March 17, are on sale now. Meanwhile, you can see last year's runner-up Ray Quinn in concert at Lighthouse in Poole on Saturday, November 3.
