Pop star discovery show The X Factor hits the road in the New Year, heading to holiday hotspots in search of the nation's next popstar.
Pre-auditions begin on January 5 in Queenstown, rolling through 27 cities and towns over the following month.
In a statement, co-executive producer Andrew Szusterman said:
"It's the opportunity of a lifetime, and I encourage you to start preparing now."
Judge Stan Walker said: "I know New Zealand is full of amazing people and singers that just need a chance to show how great they are."
Ten pre-auditions are at towns in the South Island. From January 18, the TV3 show shifts to the North Island.
