Arguably the most watched television show of 2009, Simon Cowell's X Factor hit pretty much every screen in the UK during the back end of last year. We all had our favourites, but it was Joe McElderry that went on to win and his first single was pipped to number 1 by the Rage Against the Machine campaign that we all heard about.

Now the X Factor contestants are preparing to tour the UK and Ireland with the infamous X Factor tour that will no doubt attract sell out arenas week after week. Not all artists from the 'final 10' will be touring, but here is a list of those that will; Joe McElderry, Olly Murs, Stacey Soloman, Jamie Archer, Danyl Johnson, Lucie Jones and Jedward.

The artists will be using ACS T2s on stage, so we went down to rehearsels in London earlier this week to get them fitted, here is a few shots;

We will catch up with them all during the tour to see how they are getting on with their monitors, so watch this space for more pics and comment. For more information of tour dates click here.
