Leeds to host X Factor auditions

The city is a stop off point in the nationwide hunt for the next big breakout music stars for the latest series of the hit TV talent show.

The X Factor team will be at St John’s Shopping Centre in Leeds on Saturday, April 28, between 9am and 6pm and Sunday, April 29 between 11am and 5pm.

Everyone who turns up on the day will be guaranteed an audition.

Groups or solo singers aged 14+ can register online for the upcoming event or can turn up in person on the day.

In addition The X Factor has launched a new way to audition via your mobile phone.

You can send your audition message, featuring a video of you, a friend, family member or a vocal star you know, singing to The X Factor’s WhatsApp number (07733 222 927) or send the video in via the website.

All details, including terms and conditions, can be found on the ITV website, www.itv.com/xfactor

If acts impress the X Factor audition team with their vocals they will then be in with a chance of auditioning in front of the X Factor judges when the judges’ auditions take place later in the year.

The auditions are open to all genres and types of singers, including those performing their own original material.
