Liverpool X Factor auditions are now being held at St John’s Shopping Centre
Not quite as glamorous as envisioned
Larna FearnsA far cry from the ECHO arena venue of previous years, this year the Liverpool X Factor auditions are being held in St John’s shopping centre. In a move that is apparently occurring across cities in the UK, X Factor are now auditioning people in the glamorous interiors of shopping centres.
Organised on a first come first serve basis, if you think you have what it takes, the auditions run from 9am to 6pm today and tomorrow, and Sunday 11am to 5pm.
A sparse queue of hopefuls spotted today
The Echo reported that you may be expected to sing a capella, but that you’re asked to bring a backing track with with you ‘just in case’. Apparently, there’s no guarantee that any backing track brought along can be used.
We didn’t even realise the X Factor was still a thing, but there you go.
