X-factor Live Tour
Jedward and chums to hit Dublin's 02 on March 16
Communism vs. Capitalism. Pepsi vs. Coke. X Factor vs. Rage Against The Machine. These are the great rivalries of the postwar age. Unlike the fall of the Soviet Union, Simon Cowell's unstoppable hype machine hasn't crumbled in the face of its Christmas number one defeat. No, it looks like we're in for a phase of suspicious co-existence and the best haters can hope for is a bit of peace and quiet. Enjoy it while you can, because they haven't gone away: Simon Cowell even offered those Facebook campaign-organising folk a job.
For fans whose Christmas was ruined, all's not lost: here come John, Edward and pals for full-on sugar sweetness. Like the Jamaican bobsled team or that bloke who slipped on the ice and got on the Six-One News, the twins have become famous for being not very good to the point of failure – and weirdly turning this into great success. Next year: Jedward cover 'Killing in the Name', thus ruining the charts once and for all. They're even returning on March 30 and 31. Tickets are available from €40.20.
