X Factor 2012 Mobile Audition Dates and Locations

This year The X Factor auditions are going mobile and will truly be going nationwide.

X Factor bosses have decided to widen their search for talent by being accessible in smaller towns and cities rather than just focusing on the major metropolitan areas.

So far this year the producers have visited large cities such as London, Liverpool, Newcastle and Manchester, however in the coming weeks they will be visiting smaller towns such as Bangor, Colchester, Derby, Wakefield, Aberdeen and Brighton.

The X Factor will deploy a van to hold the auditions in these areas and they will visit 19 locations in total. Hopefuls will be asked to sing for just one researcher and their audition will be recorded and watched by producers at a later stage.

The mobile will even be visiting Ireland, where the main auditions missed this year, giving the next Mary Byrne or Niall Horan the chance to tryout.

Plymouth – Wednesday, 25th April
