X Factor contestant Cher Lloyd, whose debut single topped the UK charts, is kicking of her 2012 UK tour at The Leas Cliff hall in Folkestone.

Cher mesmerised The X Factor 2010 audiences with her unique urban-pop performances coming fourth in the show.

She has since picked up over 50 million views on YouTube, her debut single 'Swagger Jagger' entered at number-one in the UK Chart and this month saw the release of her first album 'Sticks + Stones'.

Tickets go on general sale from Friday 25 November 8:00am

Tickets are priced £16.50 and will be available from The Leas Cliff Hall Box Office and website [4].
