Joe McElderry has announced that he will join the likes of Alexandra Burke, Danyl Johnston and Belle Amie in the list of past X-Factor stars to appear on the stage of The George.

Joe will perform a selection of songs from his debut album ‘Wide Awake’ and will be Joe’s first solo Irish performance. The gig is on Friday 17th of December in a month that has an influx of X-Factor contestants coming to the capitol.

That same night Anto’s X Facotr winner 2010 will be crowned too so it’s a huge night in the venue.

Tickets for the Joe McElderry gig will be €10 and available from The George now. Tickets will be available on the night as long as it’s not sold out. Doors open at 8pm.
