Beaten by the Hyde Park elements this summer (see Access issue 163) Pete Waterman’s Hit Factory Live has been rescheduled for December 21 and rebranded Christmas Cracker. 


“We were devastated when Hit Factory Live had to be cancelled,” Waterman said. “The moment had passed, that was it. So I then decided that maybe we could do something indoors.”



Taking place at The O2, the December line-up comprises artists linked to Waterman’s record label and the songwriting team of Stock, Aitken and Waterman.
