The live shows start next month, and we will have 12 of them. The dates should be confirmed soon so once they are I shall edit this post with the correct dates accordingly. The final is December 3rd I believe. What are your predictions for guest performers?

I reckon Lady Gaga might perform, she is touring in October, London, Birmingham & Manchester: 9-17 October 2017, it really depends when the live shows start.

I can't see us having performers on both nights each weekend though... would like to be proven wrong though!

To perform what though?

Sam Smith seems a given. Could definitely see P!nk performing too and I think Dua Lipa will be a top favourite to perform.

 

I can imagine Stormzy would be a good shout. So long as there's no bad blood, I can see Rita Ora easily bagging a slot too.

What about Louisa? She has to release something surely...

Ella Henderson

Wait, is Taylor Swift performance truly confirmed? By who?

 

Anyway, Little Mix and Louis Tomlinson are 100% confirmed considering they are both priority SYCO acts. Also, PrettyMuch will probably get a slot too.

I feel like Ariana could appear at the final.

Rag'n'Bone Man, all the One Direction members, Justin Bieber, Sam Smith, Little Mix, Dua Lipa, Anne-Marie, Jess Glynne, Clean Bandit, Katy Perry, Camila Cabello and Fifth Harmony are possible performers

has Taylor ever performed on XF before? cannot recall

 

Hopefully Camila C performs, guess she still has the Simon connection... maybe Demi Lovato too

Yeah she performed in 2012 (WANEGBT), 2013 (the last time) and 2014 (shake it off)!

Fifth Harmony seem likely

Also, PrettyMuch will probably get a slot too.

 

I would love to see this and maybe a 5AM performance too. Also Liam Payne has stated he does not want to perform on the X Factor stage any time soon

Saara Alto? Is she releasing anything soon?

I reckon one each night if there's going to be results every show

Little Mix will prob be on twice.

Surely Matt Terry is a certainty?

That's the specific reason for the new format of a results show and elimination on both Saturday and Sunday once the live shows begin.

 

Simon has said explicitly that the XF contestants aren't entertaining enough on their own and they need to bring in established talent to goose the ratings.
