Now extending just past the April mark, the X Factor Live 2010 tour has just been extended at Aberdeen's AECC, with a matinee and evening show added for 7th March, making six dates in total for Aberdeen as they struggle to keep up with demand.

Other new additions include Dublin (back-to-back dates added for 30th and 31st March at the O2, joining the 16th March date), Cardiff, which now has a whopping six dates at the CIA (new date: 23rd March), Glasgow's SECC (the newly-added 4th April date joining the 8th March). Liverpool's Echo Arena gets its first date for the tour - and will (currently) start the tour on 16th February, the Brighton Centre now has back-to-back dates for 27th and (newly-added) 28th March and finally Belfast's Odyssey Arena has a quartet of dates: 18th March joining the 17th March date, with two dates later on: 29th March and 1st April.

Appearing at the Aberdeen shows will be the winner as well as Danyl Johnson, Jamie Archer, John & Edward (Jedward!), Joe McElderry, Stacey Solomon, Lloyd, Lucie Jones and Olly Murs.
