Posted September 26, 20168 yr The topic from 2015 wasn't as details, but I thought it would be good to have a topic and begin speculation - as like here, contrary to what some people believe, the X Factor still has the ability to provide decent chart boosts. Similarly to this thread, I will (or one of the other chart mods) can update the topic with the artists when announced and the chart boosts. Additional dates can be added if we get any Saturday performers this year. I'll open the thread now and we can begin to speculate about who will perform. 9th of October James Arthur [single: 'Say You Won't Let Go' #1 -> #1.

September 26, 20168 yr Author Pretty much a given: Little Mix James Arthur Nathan Sykes Emeli Sande Louisa Johnson Fifth Harmony High Possibilities Harry Styles Weeknd Ariana Grande Sia Lady GaGa Michael Bublé
September 26, 20168 yr Britney to pre-record a performance when she's in the UK please!! (I think that could be this week).
September 26, 20168 yr OneRepublic (album out 7 Oct) Tove Lo (album out 21 Oct) Edited September 26, 20168 yr by cqmerqn
September 26, 20168 yr Author OneRepublic (album out 7 Oct) Tove Lo (album out 21 Oct I think OR is a good shout but I don't think Tove Lo is quite at that level yet.
September 26, 20168 yr I think OR is a good shout but I don't think Tove Lo is quite at that level yet. Yeah I thought that, but anything could happen. :P
September 26, 20168 yr why is Nathan Sykes a given? what's his connection with xf? Olly should promote single 2 on xf I guess
September 26, 20168 yr Author I'd imagine Robbie will get a slot too with his new album coming out! For some reason i have a feeling Robbie'll do Strictly instead.
September 26, 20168 yr Michael Buble, Robbie Williams and Olly Murs seem a given, I'd say Bruno Mars too was a good shout if he is indeed releasing an album this year. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if they got the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in and have the finalists sing an Elvis song, following the success of If I Can Dream last year.
September 26, 20168 yr Fifth Harmony might get a slot, I imagine Fleur will have something released too. Surely Louisa will also be returning, even if it is to perform Tears?
September 26, 20168 yr They'll try & make sure Louisa has a solo track out soon once Tears leaves the top 40 I reckon.
September 26, 20168 yr I forgot Louisa was on the X Factor lol. But yeah she's definitely going to perform I think! Ellie could too to promote the new single?
September 26, 20168 yr more possibilities: Louisa Johnson (with Clean Bandit as well? unless she has something coming out soon) Calvin Harris (would be a big ask but I read he was helping in Judges Houses so it's a possibility) Zara Larsson Nicole Scherzinger Robbie Williams Shawn Mendes The Chainsmokers Calum Scott Ellie Goulding DNCE Kings Of Leon Fifth Harmony Aston Merrygold Michael Bublé Craig David Olly Murs
September 26, 20168 yr Don't forget the obligatory Bublé performance. I don't think Bublé will be on this year, he has a one -off special show on BBC1 sometime in the autumn
September 26, 20168 yr Author Oh yeah, I meant to ad Louisa, I feel like she's a given. And I feel like an immediate release/ XF performance is the best way for her to get a hit. Simon will get Fifth Harmony on for That's My Girl, too! They'll be here on tour anyway, so will either do the first or second week of live shows.
September 26, 20168 yr I don't think Bublé will be on this year, he has a one -off special show on BBC1 sometime in the autumn X Factor really love Bublé though, Simon won't pass up the opportunity to book him.
