The finalists who will be on the jaunt around the UK and Ireland are James Arthur, Ella Henderson, Jahmene Douglas, Rylan Clark, Christopher Maloney and groups Union J and District3.
Ella Henderson said: "I cannot believe that at only 16, I have not only had the amazing opportunity and experience of appearing on X Factor, I am now fulfilling a dream by taking part in an arena tour."
Boyband Union J said: "We cannot wait to go on the X Factor Live Tour and meet all the fans and thank them personally for all their support."
James Arthur added: "A year ago I was busking in the street and playing in my local pub so knowing that next year I'll be performing at arenas is totally mind blowing. I can't wait."
The X Factor Live Tour has been running for eight years and has been seen by over 2 million people. Tickets are on sale now.
