X Factor and 2018 Eurovision Song Contest star Saara Aalto has been announced to join Steps at their LCI Rail Stadium concert in Cheltenham as part of their huge GRANDSLAM 2018: Summer of Steps tour.
The Finnish pop princess will be performing as a special guest, joining the previously announced boy band Blue on the line-up for the summer concert on Saturday, May 26.
Saara said: “I cannot wait to be back in front of British audiences again. The UK really embraced me and my style! To be performing alongside Steps in stadiums up and down the country is a dream come true after my X Factor experience.”
Current bookies’ favourite to win the Eurovision Song Contest 2018, Saara will be on the tour from May following the launch of her debut international single in March, which will also serve as Finland’s entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 2018.
Saara added: “I think the Steps fans are going to really embrace my sound. My album is very uplifting. I call the style Epic. Love. Pop. For everyone who loved my big performances on X Factor, this is for them!”
