The first trailer for series 8 of The X Factor has been unveiled this evening on the show’s official site.
The video features the four judges – Gary Barlow, Kelly Rowland, Tulisa Contostavlos and Louis Walsh – walking through the iconic ‘X’ logo before meeting at a red cross in the middle.
The camera then zooms out from the new-look panel to reveal the tagline: “The neXt generation”
The trailer, which will premiere on ITV1 on Saturday night, can be viewed below:
The new advert comes after the judges press shots were released this morning.
What do you make of the new trailer?
Keep it central!


Well Well finally UK version trailer they will release an other one in coming days
the trailer is good but if it had speaking showing auditions and boot-camp need a bit more action in it
good teaser, with louis seeming all god-like.

so excited…been waiting forever! I think this year the pannel is going to be fresh and I think they are going to work well together. The show needed a re-launch, it was getting old and tired, now its new and ready to get back to how it was when we all loved it even more! The commercial was amazing, UK commercials have never been that dramatic…bring it on!
