The X Factor auditions are coming to Glasgow.
The hit ITV show will be back on the road in search of the best and freshest vocal talent as it looks to uncover the nation's next big singing star.
Scottish singers and groups will have the chance to showcase their talents when the auditions arrive at Ibrox Stadium on April 23 and 24.
You can apply in one of three easy ways:
•Registering online for one of the nine open audition cities or by just turning up at one of the open audition cities on the day.
•Visiting the mobile audition van, which will be visiting smaller towns and cities across the country. There is no need to register for the mobile audition dates.
• For anyone who isn't able to make it to any of the cities you can also send in your own video audition via the website https://application.xfactor.tv/ .
The X Factor creator Simon Cowell said: '"The X Factor is coming back and, if you think you have the potential to be a world-class star, this is your chance to prove it. You really could be the next pop superstar."
Acts are advised to turn up early to the open auditions and mobile auditions.
On the mobile audition tour, the X Factor auditions on a first come, first served basis, so be sure to turn up early to grab a slot.
On the larger scale open audition tour everyone who turns up will be guaranteed an audition.
All any budding hopefuls need to do is turn up on the date and time specified, whether they have registered in advance or not.
If they impress The X Factor team with their vocals, they will then be in with a chance of auditioning in front of the X Factor judges, when the judges' auditions take place in summer.
The hit show, which this year won a National Television Award for Best Talent Show, has uncovered some outstanding talent across the years, including last year's winner Ben Haenow, who has achieved a number 1 selling single in the UK and is now in the studio working on his debut album.
To date One Direction, have sold more than 50 million records worldwide, Olly Murs has achieved double platinum success, Little Mix have sold 1.3 million albums and Ella Henderson had the fastest selling UK female single debut of the year with Ghost.
