There’s just two more weekends left until the X Factor winner is announced and for the first time ever the final this year is being held at Wembley Arena.

Coldplay and One Direction are among the acts now confirmed for the huge event, which is expecting an audience of around 10,000 people each night.

Chris Martin, Coldplay’s frontman said: “We're all big X Factor fans so we're very excited to play live on the show."

Head judge Gary Barlow commented: “This is the biggest final The X Factor has ever done. It's going to be an amazing night."

Adele was rumoured to be appearing but has pulled out due to throat surgery.

Leona Lewis and JLS – both former X Factor success stories – are also performing across the weekend. And show favourite Michael Buble, despite his comments earlier this week about not being a big fan of Simon Cowell’s.

On the Saturday night the three finalists will sing two songs each and the public then vote for who they want to win.

The act with least votes leaves the competition and the last two contestants go head to head on the Sunday night final.

The semi-final takes place this weekend with Little Mix, Misha B, Marcus Collins and Amelia Lily all competing to stay in the competition.
