They may not have donned the X Factor winner’s crown, but Bradford’s Zayn Malik and One Direction (pictured) are set to get fans screaming when the X Factor Live Tour hits Yorkshire in March.

The nation’s hottest new boy band will be joined on stage by The X Factor winner Matt Cardle, fellow finalist Rebecca Ferguson and other contestants including Cher Lloyd, Mary Byrne, Wagner and Aiden Grimshaw.

The show hits our neck of the woods for just two nights, giving fans chance to see their heroes on stage, whether they have a one-track mind for One Direction, or are bonkers for a certain bongo-playing Brazilian.

Last year’s X Factor Live Tour sold out nationwide, with almost a million people seeing the show across 57 dates. Tickets for this year’s tour are set go faster than ever before.

- The X Factor Live Tour is at the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield, on March 1 and 2. Tickets are available on (0114) 2565656, or online at motorpointarena.co.uk
